chris 26.1 15 == **First-Party Cookie Setting** ==
chris 25.1 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.

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.

melanie@one-count_com 1.1 45 == **Central Domain Cookies** ==
46
47 These cookies are set on the ONEcount domain.
48
49 **~_~_ocgt**: This is the global token. It's used to track users across all sites where the ONEcount widget is deployed. The value is a 64-character hash. This cookie is set under [[onecount.net>>url:http://onecount.net||shape="rect"]] domain.
50
51
52
53 **~_~_ocid**: set when a user is logs in on one of the Customer's sites. The value is a 64-character hash that represent sthe user in that customer's installation of ONEcount. It's set under **client**-[[reg.onecount.net>>url:http://reg.onecount.net||shape="rect"]] domain. (ie: if client is **foo**, then the cookie will be set under **foo**-[[reg.onecount.net>>url:http://reg.onecount.net||shape="rect"]])
54
55
56
57 **~_~_ocusername**: Similar to ~_~_ocid, it's set when the user logs in on the client's system. The value, is the user's **username** on that client's system. The domain for this cookie **client**-[[reg.onecount.net>>url:http://reg.onecount.net||shape="rect"]].
58
59 (% class="western" %)
60 == **Local Cookies** ==
61
62 These cookies are set on the customer's site(s). If the customer has multiple sites, these cookies will be set as first-party cookies in each domain.
63
64
65
66 **~_~_tempcookie**: used track users on the client's site. The value is the same as **~_~_ocgt** from the central domain. It's set under the client's site domain.
67
68
69
70 **~_~_ocid**: set when a user is logged in on the client's site. The value is the same as **~_~_ocid** from the central domain. It's set under the client's site domain.
71
72
73
74 **~_~_ocusername**: set when a user is logged in on the client's site. The value is the same as **~_~_ocusername** from the central domain. It's set under the client's site.
75
76
77
78 **cookieValid**: this is a daily cookie. It's set on the first visit of the day if **~_~_ocid** is present. It's used as a flag that can be used to determine whether **~_~_ocid** is still valid or not.
79
80
81
82 **realReferer**: used to preserve the original referer when a redirect to [[onecount.net>>url:http://onecount.net||shape="rect"]] happens for setting the Central Domain Cookies. This can be passed to Google Analytics or other platforms.
83
84
85
86 **_gcna**: this represents the visit id. The value is a combination of the **~_~_ocid** and **~_~_tempcookie** cookies as well as the visit timestamp and the visit counter.
