Hi Raja,

 

You can use following code to read specific cookie:

var cookieName = 'aam_tnt';

var headerCookie = "; " + document.cookie;

var parts = headerCookie.split("; " + cookieName + "=");

  if (parts.length == 2) return parts.pop().split(";").shift(); 

 

Hope this helps

Hi Rajneesh,

We can't use plan JS inside Profile Script. Its throwing error if i use it. We can only use the mbox API.

I tried using user.header('cookie'),but i don't know how to get exact value of a cookie.

And i even tried with mboxFactoryDefault.getCookieManager()​.getCookie(name), its not working .

Hi Raja,

I have also encountered a similar issue with reading cookie's in a profile script.

Were you able to find a solution?

The user. scripts are server side and cookies are client side.  Here is an easy example to do this:

There is a function that is added to the mbox.js at the bottom and take a look what is added to the mboxCreate.

Hi Rucha,

You can pass the cookie value using Page Parameter or mBox Parameter. And you can find the name"offercode" in Target audiences under visitor profile.

By Page Parameter : (Page level Code)

targetPageParams = function() { return { "offercode": getCookie("name"); }; };

Check this https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/target/ov/c_pass_parameters_to_global_mbox.html

By mBox Parameter (Page level Code)

mboxCreate('mboxname','offercode='+getCookie("name"));

Check this https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/target/ov/t_orderconfirm_create.html 

You can find the offercode parameter under audience -> visitor profile
