Hi,
Recently, I was working on custom link tracking on client site. The site support first party cookie. I have used s.tl() method to track link name clicked by a user and i see the data in site catalyst.
onclick="
s_sitecatalyst.tl("true", 'o', '<Link name>');"
I am getting data from the above implementation also. The above code can be used on site which accepts 3rd party cookie or 1st party cookie.
But i am wondering, how does first party cookie will affect custom link tracking. Like shown below-
onclick="
s.linkTrackVars = "trackingServer,trackingServerSecure";
s_sitecatalyst.trackingServer="<your url >";
s_sitecatalyst.trackingServerSecure="<url >";
s_sitecatalyst.tl("true", 'o', '<Link name>');"
The above code i have found in knowledge base. This can be used only if your site accepts first party cookie.
I am sure we will be getting data in both ways but what is the main difference in data collection ?

Hi Abhishek,
A first-party cookie implementation sets s.trackingServer and s.trackingServerSecure within its s_code file. If the s object already exists on the page, then it will not generally be necessary to re-specify these values within s.tl() calls. In most cases, the s object is created on page load as the s_code file is loaded, so you will not need to follow this example in most cases. More generally speaking, calling s.t() or s.tl() just sends data to the 3rd- or 1st-party server as specified, with no other effect on execution beyond the destination server.
