Configuring contact detection

To set up detection and processing of contacts on your website:

1. Open the Settings application.

2. Switch to On-line marketing.

3. Check the Enable on-line marketing box.

4. Click Save.

5. Select the Contact management sub-category of the on-line marketing settings.

6. Configure the following contact detection settings:

   Setting	Description
   Log IP address	If enabled, the system logs the IP addresses of contacts. To view the IP addresses of contacts: Open the Contact management application. Edit a contact. Switch to the IPs tab.
   Remember contacts permanently	Determines how long the system remembers the relationships between contacts and visitors. If checked, the website can identify contacts until visitors delete their browser cookies or until the system assigns a different contact to the given visitor. If disabled, the system only remembers contacts until the visitor's session expires.
   Automatically recognize visitors by user agent	Determines whether the system uses the browser user agent information to assign contacts to anonymous visitors.
   Automatically recognize visitors by IP address	Determines whether the system uses IP addresses to assign contacts to anonymous visitors.

7. Click Save.

Your website now keeps tracks of visitors as contacts. When an anonymous website visitor arrives on the website for the first time, the system automatically creates a new contact. If the same visitor registers on the live site as a new user, the system updates the contact's data and binds the contact to the given user account.
