Do cookies change when shifting between RSIDs?

Hello,

Let's say part of my website is tagged with RSID # 1 and other parts are only tagged with RSID # 2. Would any part of the visitor cookie persist as people navigated through pages or would they be two different Visitors? Would the referrer of RSID#1 be lost so that the traffic would look to be direct in RSID # 2?

Hi

1. It will treat as new visitor to the RSID#2.

2. Data will be lost while going from RSID#1 to RSID#2.

Hi Devinder,

 

Would it be true even if the website domain on RSID1 and Website domain on RSID2 matches and the first-party cookie domain also matches the website domain?

i.e, RSID1 - www.abc.com

    RSID2 - www.abc.com

    1st party cookie domain - metrics.abc.com

Thanks.

It does not matter where the traffic is coming from, data that goes to two different RSID's are always going to be counted separately.

If you had two different domains going to the same RSID, they would be counted as the same visitor as long as both Appmeasurement libraries used the same trackingServer variable.
