optimizelyDomainTestCookie Cookie

What does the optimizelyDomainTestCookie cookie do?

The optimizelyDomainTestCookie is created when Optimizely loads a URL and attempts to determine if cross-domain syncing is possible by getting the current domain. The cookie is then deleted after a successful test.

Why this cookie matters

This cookie is commonly used by optimizely for marketing purposes – such as tracking usage behaviour, optimising experience, or enabling marketing functionality.

Because it's categorised as marketing, many jurisdictions require that users give explicit consent before it can be activated. If blocked or denied by the visitor, personalised ads or retargeting features may not function properly.

Whether you manage consent via Google Tag Manager, consent APIs (like the Shopify or WordPress Consent API), or prefer automatic cookie blocking or manual script control, Cookifi integrates seamlessly into your stack.
