Title: Remembering Visitor Parameters With Javascript Cookie Last modified: November 3, 2021 --- # Remembering Visitor Parameters With Javascript Cookie * Resolved [honeyvapor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honeyvapor/) * (@honeyvapor) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/) * Hi there, * I am trying to show or hide ads based on my visitor’s UTM parameters, but my articles are paginated and the UTM doesn’t follow to page 2, 3, etc. * I followed the instructions to use a cookie here: [https://adinserter.pro/faq/how-to-remember-visitors-parameters](https://adinserter.pro/faq/how-to-remember-visitors-parameters) * It doesn’t seem to work when I go direct to a link with UTM parameters like: [https://s39480.p612.sites.pressdns.com/hilarious-google-street-view-images-ever-captured/?utm_source=1&utm_campaign=test](https://s39480.p612.sites.pressdns.com/hilarious-google-street-view-images-ever-captured/?utm_source=1&utm_campaign=test) * However, it DOES work if I follow this path: homepage > article > add utm_source =1 to the end of the url and hit enter * I currently have the cookie code set under block one, and the test implementation on block 3. I have “whitelisted” the utm_source=1, and “whitelisted” the cookie“ ai-show-ads”. * Are you able to check what is preventing the ad from showing when a visitor goes directly to the UTM link? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031240) * Block 1 to create a cookie seems to be ok. * However, block 3 is not configured to check for url parameter. You need to whitelist cookie and url parameter: * `ai-show-ads, utm_source` * Thread Starter [honeyvapor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honeyvapor/) * (@honeyvapor) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031316) * Hi, I just whitelisted url parameter as well and it is still not showing the ads. * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031326) * I see block 3 normally inserted on all posts. * Thread Starter [honeyvapor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honeyvapor/) * (@honeyvapor) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031332) * Unfortunately it only cookies the user on their second session and I’m not sure why. * If you try going to the site in incognito mode and following the link above, and clicking through the pages of the article, block 3 never appears. * Thread Starter [honeyvapor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honeyvapor/) * (@honeyvapor) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031346) * Oh, I see what you are saying. Why is block 3 being inserted on all of the posts now since whitelisting utm_source=1? It is only supposed to whitelist the source, and the cookie… * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031368) * Sure. Block 3 is normally not inserted. * But when I visit a post with the utm parametr the cookie is created and block 3 inserted as the parameter is whitelisted. When I visit any other post block 3 is inserted because the cookie is present. * Thread Starter [honeyvapor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honeyvapor/) * (@honeyvapor) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031379) * I am seeing Block 3 inserted on all posts regardless of utm currently. * If I open this link in a new incognito window, the ads appear automatically but there are no whitelisted utm parameters: [https://s39480.p612.sites.pressdns.com/musicians-who-banned-politicians-from-using-their-songs/](https://s39480.p612.sites.pressdns.com/musicians-who-banned-politicians-from-using-their-songs/) * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031424) * I can’t reproduce the issue. Block 3 is not inserted until I visit the page with the utm parameter. * But you also need to set Dynamic blocks to Client-side insert as the pages might be cached: [https://adinserter.pro/documentation/plugin-settings#dynamic-blocks](https://adinserter.pro/documentation/plugin-settings#dynamic-blocks) * Then flush all the caches. * You can use debugging function **Label blocks** to diagnose insertions: [https://adinserter.pro/documentation/debugging](https://adinserter.pro/documentation/debugging) * Thread Starter [honeyvapor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honeyvapor/) * (@honeyvapor) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031447) * Can you check this process to reproduce issue: If you remove the cookie from your browser and use a new incognito window and visit this link directly: [https://s39480.p612.sites.pressdns.com/musicians-who-banned-politicians-from-using-their-songs/?utm_source=1](https://s39480.p612.sites.pressdns.com/musicians-who-banned-politicians-from-using-their-songs/?utm_source=1) * Block 3 does not show at all in the slideshow? * However, if you visit the site again without removing cookie, block 3 is now inserted. * I am only getting the cookie inserted when the visitor comes to the site a second time. * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031461) * When you open a new incognito tab there should be no cookies. * When I visit the link I get block 3 inserted as it contains the url parameter: * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.ibb.co/7kRKnQn/block-3.png?ssl=1) * The cookie is also created but it is deleted when you close the incognito tab. * It seems Dynamic blocks are still set to Server-side? * Thread Starter [honeyvapor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honeyvapor/) * (@honeyvapor) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031502) * The screenshot you sent me says that is page 1 of 10. Your documentation article says that the cookie is not created on the first visit? Could it be that your browser is still cookied somehow? * I just tested client-side dynamic blocks while clearing cache and none of the ads appear at all and I’m not sure why. * Plugin Author [Spacetime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spacetime/) * (@spacetime) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remembering-visitor-parameters-with-javascript-cookie/#post-15031556) * There is no cookie until it is created. Therefore you need to whitelist also url parameter for the first visit. * It seems you have javascript errors on the page. Client-side insertions needs error-free pages. * Try to fix all the errors and then check again.
