This article only applies to customers using web chat. If you are a Genesys Cloud CX customer, we encourage you to use the new web messaging feature to replace web chat.

Purpose

Genesys Predictive Engagement uses cookies to store non-sensitive data in the browser. The visitor's browser must allow cookies for Genesys Predictive Engagement to work properly.

The cookie that identifies customers

To identify customers, Genesys Predictive Engagement uses a first-party cookie named _actmu to store the visitor ID. This cookie is a unique, randomly generated string that is stored in the browser. This cookie is sent to the Genesys Predictive Engagement APIs to determine whether a tracked event is associated with a particular customer and to associate subsequent visits to the same site with the same customer.

Cookies that expire after 1 year

Important
You can change the expiration time for all cookies that expire after 1 year. For more information, see Advanced tracking with cookies.
Important
On January 31, 2023, Genesys removed the functionality of the identify method that is used to add a customer record. After the removal date, the _actmi and _actmh cookies will no longer be created or updated. The existing cookies will retain the information that they had before the removal date.
