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

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.

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.

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.

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

chris 25.1 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
Admin 27.1 51 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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
Admin 27.1 55 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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
Admin 27.1 64 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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
Admin 27.1 68 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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
Admin 27.1 72 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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
Admin 27.1 76 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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
Admin 27.1 80 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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
Admin 27.1 84 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 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.
87
Admin 27.1 88 \\
melanie@one-count_com 1.1 89
90 **_gcnb**: used as part of the visit id generation process.
91
Admin 27.1 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.
