Outfunnel LocalStorage
We use third-party marketing software Outfunnel to send our emails and manage our marketing campaigns. Outfunnel uses localStorage as part of tracking, so we would have information on open email rates and click through rates. Outfunnel also tracks activity on the website.
How does it work?
We embed a localStorage based tracking code on our website. When visitors come to the website, localStorage is placed in the web browser, and the tracking code sends information to Outfunnel about that visitor’s web activity. Outfunnel also tracks opens of emails, clicks on any of the hyperlinks included and other email activity.
What information does Outfunnel collect?
When tracking code is added to a page, Outfunnel automatically gathers the following information:
- Page visits
- Time of each page visit
- IP Address
- Referrer (Source, Medium)
- User ID
