Outbound marketing identifies website visitors using a technology called cookies. A cookie is a small file that’s sent by a server and saved by your browser. Each time you visit a server for which a cookie is set, your browser submits that cookie value back to the server. The cookie can provide a unique visitor ID, which enables the server to return information that is unique to you. 

A cookie identifies a single device/browser/account combination. If you use two different browsers (Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer on the same computer), each has its own cookie. Likewise, you have different cookies on each device that you use. Another user with their account on your computer has yet other cookies. All cookies will be deleted if a device gets deleted and reinstalled. Nevertheless, outbound marketing attempts to resolve the actual marketing contact associated with each unique cookie ID. 

Whenever a contact submits a marketing page, outbound marketing correlates the behavior-analysis cookie ID with the incoming contact data submitted with the marketing page form. This way, the cookie ID is mapped to an outbound marketing contact ID, allowing the administrator to determine who has been browsing the site. The system applies its configured duplicated-detection method to determine whether incoming landing-page data should be mapped to an existing contact or to a new contact. 

Outbound marketing sets three different types of cookies: 

Long-term behavioral-analysis cookie: This cookie is set and/or read on any webpage where you have placed an outbound marketing website behavioral-analysis script. The cookie enables outbound marketing to score leads based on their level of interaction with a given website. The cookie contains no personal information but uniquely identifies a specific browser on a specific machine, and outbound marketing can use it to correlate this ID with an actual contact in the outbound marketing database. The cookie remains active for two years. 

Short-term, single-visit cookie: This cookie is also set and/or read on any webpage where you have placed an outbound marketing website behavioral analysis script. By default, it expires after just 30 minutes. Outbound marketing uses it to group all page loads by a given visitor that is recorded by the same behavioral analysis script, and that occurs within the configured time frame. The cookie considers all these as part of a single “visit” to the website. 

Event website: The event website uses a session cookie to enable contacts to sign in and register for events. Additionally, the event website uses cookies to store the user’s language.
