Madlitics tracking persists cross-subdomain attribution challenges through first-party cookies, providing seamless tracking for organizations operating within a single root domain. By resolving across subdomains (e.g., marketing, app, and blog sections), these cookies retain visitor journey data automatically, eliminating manual UTM parameter management.
Cross-domain tracking isn’t supported, as browsers block cookie sharing between unrelated domains — a security measure that protects user privacy. This limitation isn’t a drawback but a strategic advantage, ensuring your URLs stay clean, your compliance stays intact, and your reports surface only the most reliable, ecosystem-specific insights.
Track visitors across subdomains with Madlitics
Yes, Madlitics works across subdomains as long as the tracking code is installed on all of them. This is made possible by first-party cookies, which browsers allow to persist across subdomains of the same root domain. When a visitor moves between sections of your site, Madlitics retains their attribution data and writes it into hidden fields on forms—even if they convert on a different subdomain.
A typical visitor journey:
• A user discovers your product via a LinkedIn ad and lands on marketing.acme.com
• They explore pricing on a subdomain: pricing.acme.com
• They convert by signing up on your app subdomain: app.acme.com
Madlitics retains attribution data throughout this journey using first-party cookies. You gain full visibility into how visitors interact with your brand without cluttering URLs or compromising privacy.
Why cross-domain tracking isn’t possible
Cross-domain tracking is not natively supported in Madlitics due to browser security policies and restrictions on third-party cookies, which prevent automatic tracking of user activity across separate top-level domains (e.g., marketing.acme.com to cymbalgroup.com)
However, you can maintain continuity in your analytics with:
• Consistent UTM Parameters by tagging campaigns with identical UTM parameters across domains to manually connect data in your reports.
• Shared Tracking IDs by using platform-specific IDs (e.g., Google’s gclid, Microsoft’s msclkid) as common identifiers in your CRM.
Madlitics delivers clean, actionable attribution data for teams operating across subdomains—whether you’re guiding visitors from marketing.acme.com to app.acme.com or analyzing journeys through blog.acme.com. While cross-domain tracking requires manual UTM tagging, Madlitics ensures the data you send to CRMs and analytics platforms is accurate, privacy-compliant, and ready for analysis.
