Visitor engagement expiration set to 1 day: When does it expire?

[anttiNylund]

Hello,

If I have set Visitor engagement expiration to 1 day will it expire:

a) 24 hrs after last interaction

b) midnight

c) next midnight: day1 enter site, midnight the clock starts counting expiration, when day 3 starts game is over and last engagement is expired

d) something else

Thanks!

1 day = 24 hours.

Marketing Channel: the value will expire in 24 hours after the Visitor's last hit

eVar: the value will expire in 24 hours after it was captured

Hi,

The first time a user reaches your site, a cookie (labeled s_vi) receives an assigned value containing a unique visitor ID.

e.g.

[CS]v1|2EB8DA6D850799A0-40000120C0004BD9[CE] - Visitor ID

2021-09-05T12:40:44.789Z - Expiration

This unique visitor ID gets set on each hit by the user. When you set expiration in an eVar, it collects data till the expiration time ends.

82117115115328710410	cart		car
Visit ends
Next day (Before eVar Expiration)
82117115115328710410	cart		car
eVar1 expiration time ends
Next day (After eVar Expiration)
82117115115328710410	checkout
Once a expiration time ends, values stop being copied in the post_evar column.

Thanks!
