Creating a TikTok Cookie Creator Tag
When a visitor clicks on your TikTok campaign, they arrive on your site with a ttclid cookie. From the GTM web container, you can save the information from that cookie for a month using a Cookie Creator tag. Easily create a custom cookie without JavaScript knowledge using the Tag Cookie Creator. Previously, creating a cookie required creating a custom HTML tag that required JavaScript knowledge.
Open your GTM web container. Go to templates
At Tag Templates, choose "View Gallery"
Use the search function to find ‘Cookie Creator’. Add this tag template to your workspace.
Go to variables
Add a new User-Defined Variable
Select URL in the list of variables
Under "component type" select "query"
Input "ttclid" as the query key
Name the variable 'URL Query - ttclid' and save
Navigate to triggers
Create a new trigger
For the trigger configuration type, choose ‘DOM Ready’.
Select ‘Some events that trigger on ‘DOM Ready’’
In the left dropdown menu, choose your created URL Query variable. In the middle dropdown menu, select ‘does not contain’. In the right input field, enter ‘undefined’
Name the trigger "ttclid trigger" and save
Navigate to tags
Create a new tag. For the tag configuration, choose the Cookie Creator tag template.
For ‘Cookie Name’, enter “cookie_ttclid”.
For ‘Cookie Value’, select your URL Query variable.
For ‘Expiration Month’, select ‘By month’.
Under ‘Advanced Settings’, expand ‘Set Domain (optional)’, check the option, and enter “auto” in the input field.
Under ‘Advanced Settings’, expand ‘Set Path (optional)’, check the option, and enter “/” in the input field.
Geef deze tag de naam "cookie_ttclid" en sla de tag op.
