Last update: Mon Jun 17 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

To increase or decrease the period of cookie validity in Adobe Campaign, change the value of the two new parameters: permanentCookieValidityDuration and visitorCookieValidityDuration.

Description description

Environment

Adobe Campaign v7
Adobe Campaign v8

Issue/Symptoms

The cookie validity is long, and it has to be reduced.

Steps to reproduce

Access a URL that points to the instance you are using. For example, a tracking URL.
Open your browser’s developer console and go to the tab Application.
On the left panel displayed, select Cookies and check the expiration date of this site.

Resolution resolution

Starting with versions ACC 7.3.2 and 8.4.1, two new parameters have been added to the serverConf.xml file, redirection section:

permanentCookieValidityDuration and visitorCookieValidityDuration.

By default, these are set up to 33696000 seconds (1 year). One can change the value of these two parameters to reduce or increase the validity period of the cookies.

From the configuration, these parameters have the following definition:

permanentCookieValidityDuration: Duration of the uuid230 and nllastdelid cookies validity in seconds, 0 means no cookies Default: 33696000
visitorCookieValidityDuration: Duration of the AMCV_ cookie validity in seconds, 0 means no cookie Default: 33696000

Cause

In the previous versions, the default cookie validity is of 13 years. This is hardcoded under versions prior to 7.3.2 and 8.4.1.
