D6 Engine Documentation

At the heart of the D6 Engine is data. Using your proprietary data can extend the options a business/marketing team has to customize their website. The D6 Engine provides a way to plug data into the system quickly and easily.

Segment Definitions

Data can be added directly into the user's JSON object by implementing the SegmentationProvider interface. The class will be called in service.ranking order to process along the chain. This allows users to add complex JSON data into their object for processing/analysis. 

Alternatively, existing cookies data can also be used, with virtually no code change required. In the instance where an existing logged in cookie exists, by defining the data point and cookie, additional code or logic implementation isn't required in order to hook into that system. Since the D6 Engine runs server side, it has access to all cookies and therefore is not restricted by HTTP only settings.
