Configure the analytics cookie domain

Current version: 9.0

Applies to

Content Delivery (CD)

Configuration file

\App_Config\Sitecore\Marketing.Tracking\Sitecore.Analytics.Tracking.config

You can configure the domain of the tracking cookie (SC_ANALYTICS_GLOBAL_COOKIE) if you do not want it to be the default domain.

Configuring the analytics cookie domain can be useful when you have configured a proxy or special load balancer that changes the domain of the requests.

To configure the cookie domain:

  1. Open the \App_Config\Sitecore\Marketing.Tracking\Sitecore.Analytics.Tracking.config file.

  2. Insert the Analytics.CookieDomain tag with the value set to the domain of your choice.
