Cookies and Activity Tracking
Account Engagement tracks visitor and prospect activities on your website and landing pages by setting cookies on their browsers. Cookies are set to remember preferences (like form field values) when a visitor returns to your site. We also set a cookie for logged-in users to maintain the session and remember table filters.
Account Engagement sets first-party cookies for tracking purposes and sets third-party cookies for redundancy. Using first-party and third-party cookies together is standard in the marketing automation industry. We don’t store personally identifying information, only a unique identifier. First-party cookies are set on Account Engagement domains and tracker subdomains. If you don’t have a tracker subdomain configured, we use third-party cookies on HTTPS pages.
To ask visitors to consent to tracking enable tracking opt-in preferences.
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| visitor_id<accountid> | The visitor cookie includes a unique visitor ID and the unique identifier for your business unit. For example, the cookie name visitor_id12345 stores the visitor ID 1010101010. The account identifier, 12345, makes sure that the visitor is tracked on the correct business unit. The visitor value is the visitor_id in your business unit. This cookie is set for visitors by the Account Engagement tracking code. |
| pi_opt_in<accountid> | If Tracking Opt-in preferences is enabled, the pi_opt_in cookie is set with a true or false value when the
visitor opts in or out of tracking. If a visitor opts in, the value is set to true, and the visitor is cookied and tracked. If the visitor opts
out or ignores the opt-in banner, the opt-in cookie value is set to false. The visitor cookie is disabled, and the visitor isn’t tracked. |
| visitor_id<accountid>-hash | The visitor hash cookie contains the account ID and stores a unique hash. For example, the cookie name visitor_id12345-hash stores the hash “855c3697d9979e78ac404c4ba2c66533”, and the account ID is 12345. This cookie is a security measure to make sure that a malicious user can’t fake a visitor and access corresponding prospect information. |
| lpv<accountid> | This LPV cookie is set to keep us from tracking multiple page views on a single asset over a 30-minute session. For example, if a visitor reloads a landing page several times over a 30-minute period, this cookie keeps each reload from being tracked as a page view. |
| pardot | A session cookie named pardot is set in your
browser while you’re logged in as a user or when a visitor accesses a form, landing page, or
page with Account Engagement tracking code. The cookie denotes an active session and isn’t
used for tracking. |
