JavidH thanks for the response.

 

For visit.id I understand that it's generated internally, but is it exposed such that we can read the value on the client side?

  • visit.id is exposed through the Bulk API Export in CSV and JSON format in community analytics.
  • Regarding your query on the LithiumVisitor cookie: if the idea is to be able to see the anonymous user metrics separately, you could use the User Name filter with 'Anonymous' value in Community Analytics.

    Thanks JavidH ,

    We have another workflow in mind for the LithiumVisitor cookie, which would require decrypting it to pull out the "visitor.id" and adding a custom JS script to process the value.

    Is it possible for us to decrypt the LithiumVisitor cookie?
