Hi Javier, Actually, there's no way to set 3rd party cookies at all from Tealium. This is not a restriction of Tealium, but a security restriction in the browser. If Tealium (or any other Javascript) is loaded on www.domain1.com, it can only set cookies on that domain. If you wanted to set cookies on a 3rd party domain, you would have to request a resource (an image, for example), and configure the server to send back a "Set-Cookie" directive in the response header. This cookie would not be available to Tealium because the browser only gives Javascript access to cookies located on the primary domain (www.domain1.com). This prevents 3rd party scripts from "stealing" cookies from other sites. For example, I can't read a cookie located on "www.yourbank.com" and steal your login details, because the browser wouldn't allow it. Another way of thinking about it is that 3rd party cookies don't really exist. 3rd party cookies are simply first party cookies that belong to another domain than the one you are visiting. For example, any cookies set on www.domain2.com are 3rd party cookies to www.domain1.com, but they are first party cookies to www.domain2.com. If www.domain1.com requests a resource from www.domain2.com, the browser would send all www.domain2.com's cookies with the request, but a script on www.domain1.com would not have access to the contents of those cookies - they are effectively "private" as they belong to www.domain2.com. In summary, there is no way of setting 3rd party cookies at all in Tealium, and there never will be, but this is exactly the same as any other Javascript-based solution. I hope my explanation helps and isn't too confusing. Craig. ... View more

Hi Mark, There was a bug with the Web Companion which meant that the save button was missing, and there was no way to save your changes. The fix for the bug was deployed last night and I can confirm it's now functioning normally again. Apologies for the inconvenience - please try again and come back to us if you have any more issues. Craig. ... View more

Hi Javier, You can do the following: 1) Create a new data source and give it the same name as the cookie. Make sure the name matches exactly (i.e. if the cookie is called "testCookie", then the data source must also be called "testCookie"). 2) Set the Data Source type to "Cookie Value" 3) In your load rule, select the new data source as the basis for your condition. Hope this helps. Craig. ... View more

Hi Jonathan, I have found a pretty comprehensive list that I think will satisfy your requirement, although I don't want to post it here just yet until we've tested it together. I'll drop you an email later with the list so we can test it. I think in reality most people trust their analytics tool to split out their referrers for them, but if this works well for you, then we can perhaps look at integrating the list into Tealium somehow. The real problem would be updating the list, and I can imagine that it would go stale very quickly. It could easily be a full time job for somebody at Tealium to maintain, and I think the analytics vendors already do a reasonable job. Speak later, Craig. ... View more

Hi Martin,   To avoid duplication, I'd like to refer you to my answer here: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Developers/Update-to-GA-tracking-code-to-include-demographics-amp-interests/m-p/7519 Please let me know if anything in my answer is unclear and I'll be very happy to provide further assistance.   Craig. ...

Hi Javier, We can provide you with a snippet to track forms, without using the Adobe plugin. I'll follow-up with an email to you explaining the code and how to use it. Thanks, Craig. ... View more

Hi Jeff, Actually, there's already a workflow system in place, along with a very granular user permissions system which allows you to define exactly who is allowed to publish to any given environment (not just Prod). You can find the community post about workflow management here: https://community.tealiumiq.com/posts/647569. I hope this helps. Craig. ... View more

Just to add to this - what Son has suggested will work perfectly after the page has loaded once, but on the initial page load if Optimizely has not yet created its cookie, Tealium can't pick the cookie value up. All subsequent page loads will, however, receive the cookie value. I don't know if the initial pageload is important to you, but it would be a good idea to keep this in mind. ... View more

Thanks for the feedback, Brian. Good suggestion. Glad it helped you! ... View more

Hi Manish, Sorry for the delay. On page load, it's only possible to set one event of each type using the method I described earlier. However, you could have an extension that uses a utag.link() call to trigger another event without creating a new page view. It's probably best to speak to your account manager about this, as it's quite a specific requirement. ... View more

Now for the answer... All you need to do is create a data source (or use an existing one) to set the following: Event ID Action Type Category ID Then map each of these using the mapping toolbox (select the "Conversion Events" tab). Once you've done this, you can just use a "set data values" extension with a condition on it to only set the data values on the relevant pages. The principles are very similar to those described here in the "simple" method: https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ/How-To-Guide-Event-Tracking-With-Google-Analytics/ta-p/14082 Hope this helps. You shouldn't require any jQuery to achieve this. ... View more

The CoreMetrics documentation says that there is only one conversion event - Conversion + Action Type 1 = "Conversion Initiation", Conversion + Action Type 2 = "Conversion Successful". If I understand correctly, you want to create both of these events on the same page? This can be done with a custom JavaScript extension, but I think you want action type 2 for the conversion event, and 1 for the initiation event. Let me know if I'm correct, and I'll put some example code up here. ... View more

Hi Manish, Which tag are you referring to (e.g. GA, SiteCatalyst)? Also, you said "on load of a page" - do you mean on the page load, or do you mean when the user clicks a button and triggers the conversion? If so, please refer to the AJAX tracking article on the community (https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ/AJAX-Tracking-in-Tealium/ta-p/14034 which will allow you to trigger events after the page has loaded (you'll probably want to use utag.link). If you can give me a few more details, it will be easier to assist you. Craig. ... View more
