Update profiles
A user profile contains demographic and behavioral information of a web page visitor, such as age, gender, products purchased, last time of visit, and so on. 51黑料不打烊 Target uses this information to personalize the content it serves to each visitor.
The profile information for each visitor is either stored in cookies or in third-party apps.
If your web page implements the Target code (at.js or the 51黑料不打烊 Experience Platform Web SDK), the profile information from the cookies is passed to Target using profile parameters. Target identifies each visitor uniquely through a pcID that it generates in the visitor鈥檚 cookies.
