Adaptive Personalization Manual / Version 2101
Table Of ContentsCoreMedia Adaptive Personalization delivers APIs for different context sources (for example, CookieSource, TableSource) that enable persistence of personal data, however CoreMedia only ships example code for the CookieSource implementation in the Personalization Blueprint module. If you choose to persist personal data, you may legally be obliged to disclose this fact to your end users and to seek and document permission which may require additional custom code.
Here is a list of context sources delivered with CoreMedia Adaptive Personalization. Find the details about their use in the respective API documentation.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
CookieSource
| This source stores a context object in a cookie. The parameters of the used cookie (such as its max age) can be configured via properties of the source. The source serializes the context into a string and then base-64 encodes this string before writing it to the cookie. |
SystemDateTimeSource
| This source adds a context object containing several
properties related to the system's date and time. The added
context implements the
PropertyProvider
interface.
|
TableStoreSource
| This source stores and retrieves contexts to and from a
TableStore
implementation. A
TableStore
can be anything capable of persisting key-value pairs, such as a
relational database or a persistent hash map.
TableStoreSource
also requires a
UserIdProvider
that is expected to return a unique id for
the current user. This id is used to construct the key used to
store the context object.
|
SegmentSource
| This source provides a context that indicates the user segments the current user is a member of. See Section 4.4, “Working With Customer Segments” for details. |
TestContextSource
| This source reads test contexts from the CMS repository. See Section 4.2.4, “Working With Test Contexts” for details. |
