Configure the analytics cookie domain

Version:

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.

    <configuration
  xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" 
  xmlns:set="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/set/" 
  xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/">
  <sitecore role:require="Standalone or ContentDelivery or ContentManagement">
    <settings>
      <setting name="Analytics.CookieDomain" value="<domain.name>" />
    </settings>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>

  3. Save your changes.
