Tracking – Click count

In case of DEM to the CPC, the count of the final click will be communicated to the customer 7 days after sending, through the official report signed and accredited by ContactLab provider. The report will contain information related to the shipment (Mail sent, Mail delivered, Click, Openings), and a specific detail of the clicks on the links in the DEM. For a correct count of clicks and impressions, must be replaced the anti-caching parameter  [timestamp] with distinctive Italiaonline primary key <%${ecm:random(1,1000000000)}%>    ecm:process=”false”.
