This section describes how you can customize the Ambient Data Framework. In the Ambient Data Framework configuration file, you can specify configuration strings as hardcoded values or as parameters.
Customizing prefix for cookies and session IDs By default, the Ambient Data Framework generates tracking IDs and session IDs that consist of the string tridion followed by a unique identifier string. You can change tridion to a string of your choice to help you trace the origin of a cookie or session ID to its originating data center. You can set a custom prefix for these IDs.
Configuring cookie names and paths You can provide explicit names for cookies and, if a cookie only applies to a certain subsection of your site, a path to that part of your Web site.
Controlling cookie generation By default the Ambient Data Framework always generates cookies for your Web site visitors. You can change the default behavior (for example, due to international legislation or company policy) and create a Claim Processor to generate cookies on a per-visitor basis.
