Guru Cookie Trick...

8 replies
Hey guys,

I've got a site up right now that is pending approval on CB (digitalbankroll.com) that website is a squeeze page. Once they prospect opts in they become a lead and get sent to the sales page.

I need to figure out how to setup a little cookie situation like you see on all the big product launches where once you opt into the squeeze page, your computer is somehow cookied and from then on every time you visit digitalbankroll.com it takes you straight to the sales page because you have already opted in.

Does anyone know how easy/hard this is to do and where I can find a script to make this happen?

    Cookies are faily easy to setup, set/get
    The problem is that a lot of users delete there cookies or have security that deletes them on a daily basis.

    This will cause them to have to opt in again to set a new cookie.
    You are better off to develop or have developed a login system so that they can always login to the pages you want opt-ed in users to visit.

      If that's the case, then why do all the big internet players follow this technique?

      And if you know of anywhere I can find a script or anything that would point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

        *How* to do this depends on the programming language. PHP? Javascript? ASP? It's easy to do in any language but the syntax is wildly different. Personally I'd recommend javascript/jQuery, since you could use that no matter what the server-side language is. Google "jquery cookie redirect" and that should provide some good examples.

          Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I'll see what I can find in that search query.

          Now as for the reason I'm using cookies is because that is how multimillion dollar product launches have been conducted. I believe it's wise to follow the example that has been time tested and proven and not try to reinvent the wheel.

          I understand that use of a login, that would be something I would use for product delivery, not managing an opt in.

          Thanks again guys,

            Hey guys,

            I went ahead and Google that as ya said and I found a Jquery script that should do the trick. Only problem is I really have no idea where to put what?

            Could you guys provide some insight here as to how this works? Here's my code...

            Code:
            <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/cookie.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
        var COOKIE_NAME = 'splash-page-cookie';
         = $.cookie(COOKIE_NAME);
        if ( == null) {
                $.cookie(COOKIE_NAME, 'test', { path: 'http://digitalbankroll.com/secretvideo/', expires: 6 });
                window.location = "http://digitalbankroll.com"
        }
        else {
        }
});

</script>

    Because they either don't care or don't know any better.

    Delete your browser cookies now.
    What happens, You will need to log back in here at the warrior forum.

    The same will happen if you set a cookie on your opt in.
    If you delete your browser cookies, you will have to re-opt in.

    I don't know of any specific scripts, I am a programmer, I just write what I need.

    I'm just trying to inform you of the problems with using cookies, they have their place.
    If you insist on using cookies, where do the users land after opt in?
    (On a successful form submit)
    That is where you want to set the cookie.
    You can use PHP or JavaScript, jQuery, etc....

    Hey guys,

    For those of you who care, I figured it out!

    I ended up using JavaScript to do the deed and was incredibly simple once I found the right script.

    You can go to this website to get this script and others like that with complete walkthroughs...
