B Cookie Structures

This appendix provides an overview of the cookie technologies that RUEI supports.

In order to accurately monitor your web environment, RUEI needs to know and understand the cookie technology you web site is using. The procedure for specifying the cookie technology is fully described in Section 12.2, "Specifying the Session Tracking Mechanism".

The structures for supported cookie technologies are shown in Table B-1.

Footnote 6 URLARGUMENT is the name of the argument in the URL. This is explained in more detail in the following section.

B.1 Session Tracking Using URL Arguments

When you specify that a URL argument should be used to track user sessions, the object's URL is first checked for the specified argument. If it is not found, the parent page's URL is searched for the specified argument.

For both the object's and the parent page's URL, the following example URL structure is assumed:

www.domainname.com/sitename/shop;URLARGUMENT=blabla?......

If the specified URL argument is not successfully located, the following URL structure is assumed:

www.domainname.com/sitename/shop?URLARGUMENT=blabla&......
