Browser ID
The browser ID is a universally unique identifier (UUID) that Sitecore CDP assigns to every user of your app. It associates sessions, events, and orders with the respective user.
The browser ID in integrations using the Engage SDK
The Engage SDK automatically creates the browser ID. Then, the web browser stores the browser ID as a first-party cookie. The cookie is persisted until it expires or gets deleted.
You can use the Engage.getBrowserId() function to get the browser ID, then find data about the associated user in Sitecore CDP.
When you send events, the Engage SDK automatically includes the browser ID in the event data object.
The browser ID in integrations using direct HTTP requests
You have to manually request a browser ID first. To do this, you make a GET request to the Browser API (Stream API type). The response includes the browser ID. In every event that you send to Sitecore CDP, you have to manually include the browser ID.
The browser ID in Sitecore CDP
If you know the browser ID for a user of your app, you can use the browser ID to find data about the user in Sitecore CDP.
In Sitecore CDP, click Guests, then in the search dropdown, select Browser ID and enter the browser ID in the search field. For example: a38b230c-11eb-4cf9-8d5d-274e9f344925
Then, Sitecore CDP lists the guest profile for the user. In the guest profile, you can find session, event, and order data about your user.
