Cookie Sync

Integration Details

- Resulting data: Lytics cookie IDs in Taboola and Taboola IDs populated in Lytics profiles.
When the integration is enabled, anytime a user visits your website where the Lytics JavaScript tag is active, the tag will initiate a request to the Taboola pixel containing the Lytics cookie ID. In response, this endpoint will redirect to a Lytics collector endpoint containing the Taboola ID for that user. This ID is recorded through the taboola data stream in Lytics.
