At Essentra we use the Help Scout web beacon in conjunction with cookies to provide web chat functionality on our sites. There are two cookies used by the beacon:
1. The beacon_docs_session_id cookie, which stores an ID that is unique to the visitor's session.
2. The beacon_docs_visit which stores a date that is used to record visits within the visitor’s session.
Both of these IDs are used by Help Scout to track Docs article views and search queries that happen during the session. These cookies are set as Functional cookies. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.”
