How to Set up Pop-up Campaign for a Specific Cookie

Learn how to target website visitors using cookies for more effective pop-up campaigns with Picreel and control the timing and content of overlays tailored to individual user experiences.

Use Case: Imagine you have multiple website visitors with different behaviors, and you want to display custom pop-up messages to each of them based on their cookie data.

Benefits of setting up pop-up campaigns for a specific cookie:

1. Control Pop-Up Display Frequency: Set specific rules to control when your overlays appear, ensuring a non-intrusive user experience.

2. Personalized User Experience: Tailor pop-up content based on a visitor's cookie data, providing a more relevant and engaging interaction.

Here’s an example of what a pop-up for a specific cookie would look like:

To Set up a Pop-up Campaign for a Specific Cookie

Step 1: Accessing Campaign Settings

• Log in to your Picreel dashboard and click the ‘Campaigns’ tab on the side panel. Navigate to the campaign and click "Settings." 
• Select the campaign you want to set up overlays for and click "Settings."

Step 2:  After selecting your campaign, navigate to 'Other options.' Scroll down to find 'Cookie targeting.'

Step 3: Set Up Cookie Rules

• To show or hide an overlay when certain cookies are present, enter the cookie's name in the "Cookie name" field.

Step 4: Optional Cookie Value (Advanced)

• Optionally, set a cookie value for more precise control.
• Leave the "Cookie value" field blank to disregard the cookie's value.
• For example, display an overlay only when the "some_cookie" has the value "1."

Step 5: Save Your Settings

• After configuring your cookie rules, click 'Save' to apply them.

Example: Suppose you have six different cookies with the following names:

1. prospect_signed_in
2. prospect_not_signed_in
3. returning_registered_with_order
4. returning_registered_without_order
5. returning_non_registered
6. new_unknown

You also have six separate campaigns. Ensure each user sees the right campaign based on their cookie. Navigate to targeting options and select the cookie option. For instance:

• Cookie name: prospect_signed_in
• Cookie compare: =
• Cookie value: Leave it empty or set it to your desired value.
