CX Tag implementation

The CX Tag should fire before any visible content on a page without async or defer tag attributes. It implements an anti-flicker technique by hiding the original web page before the content rendering takes place.

As soon as the tag is added to the global HTML template (preferably into the <head> section), your website should be ready for personalization.

If the above implementation is not something you want to proceed with, you can put the tag elsewhere. This may cause flicker and needs the Auto-hiding rule to be cleared in the personalization module settings described below.

Setup the personalization module

The personalization module can be enabled through the Data Collection UI. You can enable it using one of the following options:

  • When creating a tag, choose the Oracle Personalization checkbox.

  • Add a new Personalization module in an existing tag.

Note: The personalization module operates on top of the Infinity module. So you must enable the Infinity module in order to use the personalization module. If you cannot turn on the personalization module in the Data Collection UI, make sure you have the necessary user rights. Review the requirements for accessing the personalization module in Accessing Web Personalization.

After you add the personalization module, it gets the default settings illustrated below.

The following settings are available:

  • Auto-hiding is the CSS rule applied to the page until the personalization content is ready. If you don't need the anti-flicker technique to fire, clear the value.

  • Auto-hiding timeout is the maximum time for the original page to be hidden. It's defined in milliseconds.
