HI TM,

Please find below has the scenario details on this issie:

We are capturing visitor ID details under s_vi using Data Insertion API inside SiteCatalyst under eVar X and Prop Y. If the cookie is not set/read from s_vi, we are passing the value as ‘null.’

Adobe SiteCatalyst:

• Adobe SiteCatalyst has confirmed that by pulling raw data from their servers that if JS is blocked in the browser they can’t track the s_vi cookie value.

Applications:

• Application will not run if the JS is disabled.

Issues:

• We are noticing 80% of data in production as null visitor id.
• Application will not run if the JS is disabled. Please read next point..
• How come Adobe SiteCatalyst was able to identify the s_vi data if the cookies are disabled in the browser. 
• There is a fallback method if 's_vi' is not set we can use 'fid' but both visitor id and fid are based on the cookie information, if cookies are disabled how fid will work ?

Thanks,

Prathi

If Adobe Analytics cannot set a cookie of any sort, it will fall back to using a combination of IP address and user agent.

Hi Gigazelle,

We have already tried that if visitor id is not set lets sat eVar X fetch the 'fid' value and pass it in eVar Y.

Couple of queries

1. Both s_vi and fid are cookie based how can it will set if cookie is disabled in browser ?

2. What is java unkown version in browser report ?

Thanks,

Prathi
