16 -
17 -ONEcount sets 2 types of cookies: A temp cookie on the first visit- and an OCID cookie when the user is identified by registering, logging in, or when OC performs a cookie sync. All ONEcount cookies are first-party cookies, which means they are supported by all web browsers.

20 -\\
21 -
22 -When a user visits the site for the first time, he or she will have no ONEcount cookies for that site.  In order to facilitate multi-site tracking, targeting and gating, ONEcount will do an initial redirect to the [[onecount.net>>url:http://onecount.net||shape="rect"]] domain to determine if the user has a cookie in the [[onecount.net>>url:http://onecount.net||shape="rect"]] domain, meaning, he or she has already been identified on another site within the customer’s group of sites
23 -
24 -\\
25 -
26 -If the user is already identified in the [[onecount.net>>url:http://onecount.net||shape="rect"]] domain, ONEcount will set a cookie in the local domain identifying that user. When the user returns to the local site, they will no longer be redirected.
27 -
28 -\\
29 -
30 -The One-Time redirect will happen //only// when you visit a page for the 1^^st^^ time of a brand and is considered an industry standard.
31 -
32 -\\
33 -
34 - Upon registering, clicking on a smartlink, or being identified through a cookie-sync with a third-party, ONEcount sets an OCID cookie showing that we have identified the person as a known user.
35 -
36 -\\
37 -
38 -This helps a brand that has multiple sites. If a customer has 40 sites and a user is identified on Site A, then ONEcount will first set the temp cookie and then OCID cookie and store that data as a known user.
39 -
40 -\\
41 -
42 -If a user visits Site B, then OCID will be able to retrieve that user’s identity, which is stored in cookies on the [[onecount.net>>url:http://onecount.net||shape="rect"]] domain. At this point, the user is known and his or her activity can be tracked across all brand sites that the user has registered for.

92 -**_ocfreepass**: counts pages that are part of a gating product. So if [[domain.com/articles/>>url:http://newrepublic.com/articles/||shape="rect"]] is the URL of the product, ocfreepass will increment on each page view if domain[[.com/articles/>>url:http://newrepublic.com/articles/||shape="rect"]], but it will not increment on a page view of [[domain.com>>url:http://newrepublic.com||shape="rect"]] because it is not a gated product. The name of the cookie includes a unique customer ID for each ONEcount customer, and a uniqe # for the product. In this way, if the same URL is in two different products, there will be two different cookies, one for each product. The number is the product_Id.
