Category Affinity can be accessed after closing the browser?

Hi team,

I'm currently testing the category affinity to remind customers to return where they left off. I'm able to see the category affinity in a Chrome add on called MiaProva, however, I'm not able to see this in the browser console. Two questions:

1) Where I can see the category affinity value on the browser console?

2) The category affinity is lost when I close the browser?, how long this value will stay?

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Mauricio.

Hi @maug 

CategoryAffinity is saved to the Target profile which is based on the cookie. So as long as the cookie isn't changing it will remember it across sessions. However, the Visitor Profile where the is saved is by default set to expire after 14 days - so if the visitor don't return to the site within 14 days the affinity will be lost. The 14 days can be extended if needed.

 

I have this demo page: https://accrease.com/adobetarget/category-affinity.html click the icons and see how your category affinity changes. When you come back at a later time (e.g. tomorrow) you'll see that the values are still the same.

It isn't printed in the broswer console unless you have an activity that does that for you. Alternatively you can enable the Response Tokens for it, which then will output the information.
