If you could analyze the old ga.js and figure out a way to accurately duplicate the way the old utmz cookie was created, you could probably make some money off your effort. I've yet to see a great solution to this.
- mpeg 9y agoThere's no magic to tracking cookies, unless you don't care about regulation, why not use your own tracking cookies for this?
- teej 9y agoHow old is "old", and what do you need it for? I've written code to parse the utmz cookie and separate code to recreate the whole organic/referral/utm attribution model in GA using first party log data. The only major drawback AFAIK is that adwords utm parameters are obfuscated and Google doesn't provide a way to resolve glclids to their campaign's utm params.
