Personalization is only as good as what the platform knows. This section covers everything that arrives
before a campaign is built: what the tracker records, what counts as a conversion, what a visitor has consented to, who
they are, and how your own data gets in.
The tracker
What the tracking code records on its own, and the situations that need it told something extra.
- Single-page applications — A site that never reloads has to tell the tracker when the page changed.
- Cross-domain tracking — Keep one visitor as one visitor across two domains.
- Cross-device tracking — Phone and laptop as the same person.
- Cookies — What Personyze stores in the browser, and for how long.
- Categories tracking — Telling Personyze which category a page belongs to.
Conversions
- Setting conversion goals tracking — Wiring a goal to a real event on the site.
- JavaScript goals — The conversion pixel, for goals your site has to report itself.
Defining what a goal means, and reading the results, is
Conversion tracking under Analytics.
Reading the numbers: The rules every number follows on the Performance Metrics page explains every figure on this screen and how to read it.
