Cookies Description

Edited

I noticed that grow added 3 cookies to my website:

  • growme_version
  • grow_check_third_party_cookie_support
  • collector_cookie

What kind of cookies are they? Could you give me a description for each so I can include it in my cookie settings?

    HI Duke Armitage ! You wouldn't need to set anything in your cookie plugin for Grow related cookies, but here are the descriptions:

    • growme_version - makes sure users load a consistent version of Grow if they're served an A/B test
    • grow_check_third_party_cookie_support - determines if a browser supports third party cookies
    • collector_cookie - helps collect analytics

    Thanks!

    Hi Rachel,

    Thank you for the descriptions! Maybe I wasn't clear, I meant as in to show them in my cookie consent solution for website visitors.

    Hi Duke,

    Thanks for the additional context. If you're a Journey publisher then the consents should all be covered by our CMP - you wouldn't need an additional solution. If you're currently only running Grow, though, then here is some additional information on the cookies:

    growme_version is used so Grow can pin/lock a version of the product so particular version of Grow can be loaded for a user. It is primarily used for A/B tests and would most likely be categorized as Functional.

    grow_check_third_party_cookie_support is used to test browser support for third-party cookies and would most likely be categorized as Functional.

    cookie_collector is used by Grow for analytics and would mostly likely be categorized as Analytic or Performance depending upon the CMP.

    Thanks!!

    Hi John,

    That sounds awesome! It'd be great not to worry about CMP. I'm only running Grow now, so thank you for the descriptions.

Journey is Self Supported

Our support staff is monitoring this forum everyday for bugs related to ad delivery, the display and functionality of the Journey dashboard, and any bugs related to the onboarding process. We are typically unable to assist with non-bug related issues like RPM performance expectations, issues setting up the ads.txt file, and questions already answered by our existing help docs. Read here for a more detailed breakdown of how Journey is self-supported and our recommendations for how to find answers to common issues.
