USING BROWSER COOKIES FOR PDEs

You know that Abstract5 can create 1000s of PDEs from a CSV file
But Abstract5 can use browser cookies to generate PDEs, too.
So you can click a web ad and generate a NAME-PERSONALIZED PDE.

THE ENVIRONMENT

The domain this demo lives on, ‘fastport.website’, lives on its own server as shown with this ‘host command’

#host fastport.website
fastport.website has address 198.211.97.144

So this setup is basically the same as fastport.com’s current web server

Fastport captures user registrations, and stores a website cookie for each user.
Something lots of websites do. Something Google, Linkedin and Facebook do too.

NOW FOR SOME WEB ADS!

When you click the ads below, Abstract5 will generate
a personalized PDE based on the registration information.

“Web ad number 1”

“Web ad number 2”

GEEKY STUFF

The Fastport.website domain didn’t change much.
The webmaster had to add a page.

Then add an A5 widget to the page.
Then do a personal widger which passed a JSON array
(a standard data format) to the widget.

Abstract5 did everything else.
The PDE generators only exist in the Abstract5 utility.
The personalized PDEs are generated and displayed by the A5 utility.
(A single, simple “A” record added to the domain’s DNS handles this.)

Simple PDEs get generated very fast; complex ones take a little longer.
Once it’s generated, the PDE reloads very quickly.

THINGS TO TRY

Try registering a different name on a different browser.
Try “resetting” the registration, and leaving it blank before clicking the web ad.

Try doing this with ads that have been places on a completely differnt server
