26.1	15	== First-Party Cookie Setting ==
25.1	16
29.1	17	ONEcount sets 2 types of cookies: A temp cookie(~_~_tempcookie) on the first visit- and an OCID cookie(~_~_ocid) 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.

	19	(% align="center" %)
27.1	20	\\
25.1	21
28.1	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 set ~_~_tempcookie.
25.1	23
27.1	24	\\
25.1	25
28.1	26	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.
25.1	27
27.1	28	\\
25.1	29
	30	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.
	31
27.1	32	\\
25.1	33
	34	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.

1.1	37	== Central Domain Cookies ==
	38
	39	These cookies are set on the ONEcount domain.
	40
	41	~_~_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.
	42
27.1	43	\\
1.1	44
	45	~_~_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"]])
	46
27.1	47	\\
1.1	48
	49	~_~_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"]].

	52
	53	(% style="color: rgb(32,33,36);" %)~_~_ocgt-//client-id//(%%): This is (% style="color: rgb(51,51,51);" %)used to identify the user.
	54
1.1	55	(% class="western" %)
	56	== Local Cookies ==
	57
	58	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.
	59
27.1	60	\\
1.1	61
	62	~_~_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.
	63
27.1	64	\\
1.1	65
	66	~_~_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.
	67
27.1	68	\\
1.1	69
	70	~_~_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.
	71
27.1	72	\\
1.1	73
	74	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.
	75
27.1	76	\\
1.1	77
	78	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.
	79
27.1	80	\\
1.1	81
	82	_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.
	83
27.1	84	\\
1.1	85
	86	_gcnb: used as part of the visit id generation process.
	87
27.1	88	_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.
