Category Page View Pixel
Category Page View Tracking
Go to your Category Page Template and add the category specific tracking parameters in the Global Tracking snippet. If your category pages are loaded via Dynamic Refresh outside the regular page load cycle, please add additional handlers to be able to track virtual page view interactions.
Faceting, Filtering and Pagination on Category Pages
If a user applies a facet filter and refreshes results, Bloomreach expects that the Category Page View pixel fires each time a filter is applied. Bloomreach uses this information to understand which filters are commonly used. In case your implementation is such that pages don't reload when a user applies a filter or facet, please add additional handlers to each filter/ facet to be able to track virtual page view interactions.
If your category pages are paginated, Bloomreach expects that the Category Page View pixel fires each time a user navigates to the next or previous category page. If your category pages don't reload when a user navigates to the next or previous page, please add additional handlers to the 'next' and 'previous' links to be able to track virtual page view interactions.

br_data.domain_key = "";

// INSERT the Category specific Tracking Parameters in your Global Tracking Script
// in your CATEGORY PAGE TEMPLATE.

Category specific Page View Variables
Map these data variables in your Page view code snippet
Category ID
|
Variable |
Type |
Dependencies |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| br_data.cat_id | String This field value is case-sensitive. |
The category ID needs to match the "crumb_id" in the feed. |
Unique category ID as referred to in the database/catalog. Bloomreach requires the cat_id field to be unique across your site. |
|
Scenario |
Examples |
|---|---|
| Unique Category ID (preferred scenario) |
Your site has has a unique category ID for every category, e.g. Variable Example: |
| No unique category ID, but unique crumb path |
Your site page does not have a unique category ID for every category, but it has a unique crumb path for every category.
|
| No unique category ID and No unique crumb path | Please talk to your Bloomreach TPM before or during the Kickoff call to discuss options for your implementation. |
Category Name/ Bread crumb
|
Variable |
Type |
Dependencies |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| br_data.cat | String Crumbs need to be delimited by pipe (|) |
Match the "crumbs" field in the product feed | The breadcrumb of the page. |
|
Scenario |
Examples |
|---|---|
| If you have a numeric representation of your bread crumb |
Your site shows Home/Top/Casual Top and each of the bread crumbs have a numeric representation, such as Variable Format: |
| Unique breadcrumb path | Your site has a unique bread crumb path for every category. Variable Format: br_data.cat="<top level crumb>|<first level crumb>|<second level crumb>" Crumbs need to be delimited by pipe (|) Variable Example: If your category crumb is "Home/Clothing/Outerwear" or "Home>Clothing>Outerwear" br_data.cat="Home|Clothing|Outerwear" |
| No unique category ID and Nounique crumb path | Please talk to your Bloomreach TPM before or during the Kickoff call to discuss options for your implementation. |
