Before you start<\/em><\/strong>, this feature is available with a Pro and higher subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n When you create a campaign<\/a> in OptinMonster you can configure it to be shown or hidden based on a visitor’s cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To configure the cookie rule, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cookie detection rule allows you to add real-time onsite retargeting campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you have an online store, your eCommerce software adds a cookie to every user who has purchased a product from you. When that customer returns to your website, you can use the cookie detection rule to show them a returning customer discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best part is that cookie detection is happening in real-time. Meaning if a user just purchased Product A, you can immediately show them an upsell or special promotion for Product B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another use case would be for those who are using an advanced email marketing solution like Infusionsoft, ActiveCampaign, Pardot etc. to run a drip campaign. These solutions add subscriber-specific cookies to your users browser. You can use these to show personalized popups based on the stage the user is inside your marketing funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cookies are little pieces of data in a web browser that is unique to each site. Each cookie contains only bits of text, nothing else. The text can be a user ID, session ID or any other text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cookies are very common, it’s normal to have hundreds or even thousands stored in your browser at any given moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, cookies help a website determine if you’ve logged into an account and keep you logged in while you continue browsing through the site. Clearing your cookies on that site would immediately log you out of your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All cookies have a key<\/strong> and a value<\/strong>: This question is best answered by your web developer, as it depends on your site’s structure, coding language, and your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are a few articles to help you learn how to do this effectively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To hide or show a campaign based on the visitor seeing another specific campaign can be done using MonsterChains<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to hide all campaigns on your site after the visitor has seen or subscribed to any of your campaigns, then you should configure global cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UTM parameters don’t follow in the URL as a user continues browsing through a site. If you’d like to target visitors as they continue browsing through your site based on the UTM parameters used when the visitor entered the site, then you will need to create a custom cookie to save the specific UTM parameter you are wanting to target.
