Cookie Tracking

Definition: Cookie Tracking involves the use of browser cookies—small text files stored on a user’s device—to monitor and record user behavior across websites or during interactions with popups and emails. In the context of email marketing and popups, cookie tracking helps personalize user experiences, control popup frequency, and retarget users based on their activity.

Cookies can track whether a user has visited a site before, clicked a CTA, or completed a form. Marketers use this data to display relevant popups, suppress repeat messages, or send follow-up emails tailored to user behavior.

Example: A visitor sees a popup offering a discount but doesn’t use it. Cookie tracking ensures the popup won’t appear again for a week, creating a less intrusive experience while still enabling future targeting.
