DESCRIPTION

Visitor Cookie: The visitor cookie includes the name “visitor_id” plus the unique identifier which is derived from the tracking code placed on your site. The value stored is the unique ID for the visitor. For example cookie name “visitor_id12345″ stores the visitor value “123456789” where 12345 is the account identifier and 123456789 represents the visitor ID. This cookie is set by our tracking code on visitors and prospects.

Opt In Cookie: The persistent cookie named “pi_opt_in” is what we use to stay in compliance with the “Do Not Track” initiative. Pardot’s tracking code can optionally respect these headers and does not use cookie-based tracking for any visitors with that setting enabled. It does not track: page viewsformlanding page viewsfile downloads and custom redirect clicks. Is still tracks formlanding page submissions and email send opens and clicks.

Pardot App Session Cookie: The session cookie named “pardot” is only set if you’re logged into our app as a user (i.e. prospects will not have this cookie set).

Purpose

Pardot sets first-party cookies for tracking purposes and sets third-party cookies for redundancy. Using first-party and third-party cookies together are standard in the marketing automation industry. Pardot cookies do not store personally identifying information, they store only a unique identifier.

Sometimes Pardot has to use third-party cookies: this exception is based on how different web browsers handle cookies. Pardot will use third-party cookies in the following instances:

  •         When your account does not have a vanity CNAME
  •         On https pages
