Install and configure tracking

Describes how to get started with installation and configuration of tracking for Optimizely Commerce and CMS data to any source.

For tracking of data to Profile Store, the Optimizely Customer Data Platform, see Install and configure tracking for Profile Store.

Use tracking to provide personalized product, content and search recommendations, and to visualize data for business intelligence purposes. You can track data to Optimizely Profile Store, to the recommendation service for Commerce products and CMS content, or to any business intelligence store, as described here.

As part of the onboarding for the tracking service, Optimizely sends the required subscription keys and tracking URLs to the technical contact for your project. Use the keys to configure the tracking for your websites. Contact Optimizely for questions regarding the onboarding process.
