cookies<\/a> to determine how long to remember if a visitor has seen, closed, or converted through a campaign when using our MonsterChains targeting rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCookie Examples<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
In this example, you have two campaigns (Campaign A and Campaign B).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Campaign B is configured to show only if the visitor has not seen<\/em><\/strong> Campaign A. You could expect the following behavior with each cookie setting option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- after x days<\/em><\/strong> (default setting)<\/em>: allows you to specify how many days<\/strong> after Campaign A was shown to remember, and not show<\/em> Campaign B.
If the visitor has seen Campaign A within the last number of days specified, Campaign B will not be shown.
The default is 30 days, can be edited to use any whole number value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- on their next visit to the site<\/em><\/strong>: remembers Campaign A was shown as long as the visitor’s session on your site remains active, and Campaign B will not be shown during that same session.
If the visitor leaves your site and 20 minutes are allowed to pass; when the visitor returns they will have started a new session and Campaign B could be shown to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n- anytime the display rules are met<\/strong>: <\/em>no cookie will be set, it will not be remembered that Campaign A was shown so Campaign B can always appear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- never, or until browser cookies are cleared<\/strong>: <\/em>once Campaign A has been shown a cookie is set with no expiration date (lifetime), and Campaign B will not ever be shown unless the browser cookies are cleared by the visitor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat’s the difference between “has closed” and “has not converted” rules?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The difference between both the rules is cookie targeting. The visitor has closed<\/strong> rule looks for the interaction cookie which is set when a campaign is closed by the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, the visitor has not converted<\/strong> rule checks for both interaction cookie and no cookie at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, if you want a campaign to appear only if the visitor has closed another campaign, you should use the visitor has closed<\/strong> rule and if you want a campaign to appear if the visitor has not seen another campaign OR has closed the other campaign, you should use the visitor has not converted<\/strong> rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI’ve configured a “has not seen” \/ “has seen” Display Rule but the campaign still isn’t showing to first-time visitors to my site.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
This rule will always fail for first-time visitors to your site because the required localStorage \/ cookie data has not been set until they reach your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend using the Display Rules to manage how often your campaign does or does not show for visitors, and use the “visitor was shown” or “visitor was not shown” rules to show additional campaigns a day or a few after another campaign is seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
