User Identification

User identification is required for ad personalization and proper targeting.

JavaScript Library Installation​

Add the library to all pages of your store:

<script src="https://static.mageads.com/ccxid.js"></script>

This automatically creates a ccxuuid cookie with unique user ID.

Retrieving User ID​

JavaScript​

var userId = window._CcxID.getID();

PHP​

function get_user_id() {
  if (isset($_COOKIE['ccxuuid'])) {
    return $_COOKIE['ccxuuid'];
  }
  return 'guest';
}

$user_id = get_user_id();

Important​

User ID must be base64 url safe encoded when sending in API requests.
