Dynamics 365 Marketing cookies
Marketing sets three different types of cookies:
- Long-term behavioural-analysis cookie
This cookie is set and/or read on any webpage where you have placed a Marketing website behavioural-analysis script. The cookie enables Marketing to score leads based on their level of interaction with a given website. The cookie contains no personal information, but does uniquely identify a specific browser on a specific machine, and Marketing can use it to correlate this ID with an actual contact in the Marketing database. The cookie remains active for two years. - Short-term, single-visit cookie
This cookie is also set and/or read on any webpage where you have placed a Marketing website behavioural-analysis script. By default, it expires after just 30 minutes. Marketing uses it to group all page loads by a given visitor that are recorded by the same behavioural-analysis script and that occur within the configured timeframe. The cookie will consider all of these as part of a single "visit" to the website. - Event website
The event website uses a session cookie to enable contacts to sign in and register for events. Additionally, the event website uses cookies to store the user's language.
