trackingServerSecure

Adobe collects data on your site by receiving an image request generated by the visitor. The trackingServerSecure variable determines the location an image request is sent over HTTPS. It also determines the location visitor cookies are stored. If this variable is not defined correctly, your implementation can experience data loss.

SSL Tracking Server using tags in Adobe Experience Platform

SSL Tracking Server is a field under the General accordion when configuring the Adobe Analytics extension.

1. Log in to the Data Collection UI using your AdobeID credentials.
2. Click the desired property.
3. Go to the Extensions tab, then click the Configure button under Adobe Analytics.
4. Expand the General accordion, which reveals the SSL Tracking Server field.

If this field is left blank, it defaults to the value in the trackingServer variable.

The s.trackingServerSecure variable is a string that contains the location to send image requests. It is almost always a subdomain of your site. Modern privacy practices in browsers commonly make third-party cookies unreliable. If this variable is blank, it uses the value in the s.trackingServer variable.

The value for this variable is almost always a first-party domain, such as data.example.com. See First-party cookies in the Experience Cloud in the Core Services user guide for more information on the first-party cookie process.

The individual who initially configures the first-party cookie implementation also defines the domain and subdomain used. For example:

s.trackingServerSecure = "data.example.com";

CNAME records usually point to a subdomain on data.adobedc.net, sc.adobedc.net or 2o7.net.
