ConversionRuler supports back-end calls to our server from your server, provided that your web site is willing to manage aspects of the user session and cookie management. This functionality is intended for advanced developers who understand cookies, the HTTP protocol, URL escaping, and how to retrieve various aspects of browser state.
The main call to ConversionRuler is:
https://www.conversionruler.com/bin/tracker.php
All parameters are passed as a query string to the above call.
The following parameters are accepted to this call:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Examples |

This can be done by setting the session cookie to expire 30 minutes after the current time, and creating a new session ID for the user if it does not exist. | e4da3b7fbbce2345d7772b0674a318d5 8f14e45fceea167a5a36dedd4bea2543 |
