Getting a visitor's Frosmo ID

Some Frosmo APIs use the cookieId parameter, which represents a visitor's Frosmo ID, to personalize responses to individual visitors.

You can get the Frosmo ID both on the client side (browser) and on the server side.

Getting the Frosmo ID on the client side

To get a visitor's Frosmo ID in a script running on the site, use the frosmo.easy.uid.get() function provided by Frosmo Core.

const visitorId = frosmo.easy.uid.get();

Getting the Frosmo ID on the server side

note

To access the Frosmo ID on the server side, visitor ID cookie support must be enabled for the site. To enable the support, if not already enabled, contact Frosmo support.

To get a visitor's Frosmo ID in a server-side application, read the value of the frosmo_uid cookie from an HTTP request.

For examples on how to do this in different programming languages, see the code snippets in Setting the Frosmo ID cookie from a web server.
