]]> Comment on Tracking With First-Party Cookies by Kevin http://www.willeitner.org/2008/08/21/tracking-with-first-party-cookies/#comment-7158?tid=commentsrss2feed Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:10:35 +0000 http://www.willeitner.org/2008/08/21/tracking-with-first-party-cookies/#comment-7158?tid=commentsrss2feed You bring up a good point about friendly third-party cookies. If you just have a single domain then you will almost always want to go with first-party cookies because of the higher acceptance rate. However, if you have multiple domains and you want to share a common visitor id then friendly third-party cookies are very useful. They are friendly because they are likely not a well known tracking domain and if the user is familiar with your other sites then then they may welcome it. With a friendly third-party cookie you can have all of your individual domains combine into a global report suite and the visitor id will be consistent for a visitor even if they move across domains. If you don't have a global suite or you don't care about looking at a visitor across sites or spending the money for the SSL certificate for each domain isn't a problem then going with a first-party cookie is the way to go.

The wheels were in motion until I found this tidbit in Omniture's knowledge base the other day: Friendly Third-Party Cookies for Multi-Suite Tagging Implementations In certain situations, you may have a report suite that spans several of your domains. In this situation, Omniture recommends using a friendly third-party approach. The friendly third-party approach calls for a cookie that is set on a single "metrics collection subdomain" that has a friendly name. Consider the scenario in which a hypothetical media conglomerate named NewsNow, Inc. owns ten different domains. To ensure accurate data collection, NewsNow would set its friendly third-party cookie to omn.newsnow.com. The benefit to this approach is that NewsNow could continue to have insight into the global view of all of their domains (e.g. de-duplicated visits, de-duplicated visitors, cross-domain campaign tracking, et cetera) by utilizing the cross-domain functionality that third-party cookies satisfy. We use multi-suite tagging and multiple domains (okay...dozens), so I'm now waiting to hear back from Omniture Support on next steps to take.

It is one of two lions actually situated at one of the most famous squares in Munich. The Odeanplatz is the square where all SS soilders swore loyalty to Hitler and was also the scene of the famous Munich Pursh where Hitler led the revolution which started the Nazi Pary. Several men were killed and a plaque to comemorate the event actually lies in the pavement just in front of the left hand lion. Lovely picture.

With a match type of 0 I get the first lookup value. I'm working on it.
