It seems that setting a cookie is not working anymore after I’ve installed the Pro Freelance plugin? Before that I was setting a cookie named either fromNative or fromSocial depending on the url_source parameter in the URL of the visit. Depending on the set cookie I would show an ad unit (or I won’t). This worked like a charm, implemented as instructed on your support page, but I can’t figure out why it is not setting cookies anymore.
– Checked Chrome console, cookie fromSocial nor fromNative is present
– Not setting the cookies in Firefox or incognito Chrome either
– Ad units are not showing, although configuration has not changed an worked very well before
– Deactivated several possible header, footer and CSS codeblocks to debug.
– Tried pausing / unpausing blocks and resaving blocks after the installation of Pro
– Build in debugger of Ad Inserter says ‘no Javascript errors found’.
Below the code I”m using:
<script>
// Check if the cookie named "fromSocial" exists in the visitor's browser
if (document.cookie.indexOf("fromSocial") >= 0) {
// If the cookie named "fromSocial" exists, delete it when the cookie with the name "fromNative" is created
document.cookie = "fromSocial=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC; path=/;";
var hours = 4;
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (hours * 60 * 60 * 1000));
document.cookie="fromNative=1; expires=" + date.toUTCString () + "; path=/";
} else {
// If the cookie named "fromSocial" does not exist, create the cookie with the name "fromNative"
var hours = 4;
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (hours * 60 * 60 * 1000));
document.cookie="fromNative=1; expires=" + date.toUTCString () + "; path=/";
}
</script>It checks if fromSocial exists, if so it ‘deletes’ it and sets the fromNative cookie. The settings are as follows:
– Active on all pages
– Lists > utm parameter whitelist: utm_source=native, utm_source=tab, utm_source=ob
– At the ad unit block it is configured through Lists > Cookies whitelist: fromNative
Unfortunately I can’t show the website just yet as it’s being developed on localhost. It will be migrated soon. Hopefully you can share your thoughts on this?
