This is a syntax that still allows you to apply multiple actions in the same
ACTION
variable, such as:
Version 4
var ACTION=”01:1221482942;02”;
Version 5
YWATracker.setAction(“01:1221482942;02“);
Unix Time Stamp
Unix time is a system for describing points in time, defined as the number of seconds elapsed since
midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds. It is
widely used not only on Unix-like operating systems, but also in many other computing systems.
When using the Unix time stamp, the system will check the time of the request
against the Unix time stamp in the
ACTION
variable and will disregard the action if the
difference between the two dates is more than 30 minutes. This will avoid any order id
duplication that might be caused by reloading the order confirmation page from cache
or from a local server.
a complete example enhanced with the Unix time stamp might look like this:
Version 4
var ACTION='01:1221482942';
var _S_SKU='DM112899; DM113834';
var _S_UNITS='2;1';
var _S_AMOUNTS='100.00;50.00';
var _S_DISCOUNT ='5.00';
var _S_TAX ='8.00';
var _S_SHIPPING ='20.00';
var ORDERID='10099803';
var AMOUNT='USD173.00';

Tracking Sales Across Secure and Nonsecure Domains
envision a setup where you have a nonsecure marketing domain and a secure shopping
cart domain, as in this example:
M

arketing domain:

•
s
hopping cart domain:

Because we have an hTTps request, recall the “Basic installation” section
in chapter 1. The problem is that the visit session breaks when transferring between
domains, and therefore the visit numbers are inflated and the referrer UrL reports are
