Hello, i have several question regarding the title above:
Site Tracking. I believe it use Cookie so it can detect the site behavior of subscriber… Can someone verify if i am correct or not? if yes, How long the Cookie will stay ?
Site Tracking. Without having to populate ‘trackcmp_email’ from URL, is there any other way to get subscriber data, perhaps via site tracking script ?
Here’s what i’m going to do…
Content lock.
I will create a page that only can be accessible from my list subscriber. Of course i can hidden the page, but someone can share the URL of this page to others. Now, is it possible that i can retrieve data from site tracking and create filter so it can lock the page and give warning “Hello, look like you’re not my subsciber”.
I need to know if the page visitor is a subscriber… any insight on this?
AC’s documentation says that Site Tracking does use a cookie. See second paragraph here:
You don’t have to pass the email address via the URL. You could also make your user log in using the email address and then use some Javascript to store the email into the trackcmp_email variable.
Since you want to lock your content so only your subscriber can see it anyway, making them log into a member’s area seems like a natural design choice.
That way, even if the protected content’s URL gets shared, the new person will get redirected back to a login page.
You could use various protection mechanisms to do that. S2Member and OptimizeMember come to mind.
How about using a form in your HTML email and doing an HTTP POST?
That way, the email address won’t be in the URL, so it won’t matter if the user sends the link to somebody else. That other person won’t be able to get in.
Of course, your member would need to click through from the email every time. He won’t be able to just bookmark the page.
