'''Legacy Tracking''' refers to a past versions of ConversionRuler which originally tracked using the [[Tracking Parameters]]:

* '''c1''' for ''Category''
* '''source''' for ''Source'', and
* '''kw''' for ''Keyword'' (or ''Segment'')

An example of how this looked was

<nowiki>http://www.example.com/?c1=ppc&source=goto&kw=cheap+dog+food</nowiki>

Due to the large number of sites which ''also'' use '''source''' as a [[Tracking Parameter]], we switched our default tracking to use '''crsource''' instead, and make this an option in your [[Site Settings]].

In general, '''we recommend turning Legacy Tracking off.''' While we track more traffic for you, it means you'll have a lot more ''garbage data'' in your reports.

Turning '''Legacy Tracking''' ''off'' with the following steps:

* Check all of your ''inbound'' [[Landing URLs]] and convert any that use '''Legacy Tracking''' to use the up-to-date [[Tracking Parameters]]
* When you are certain all of your ''inbound'' [[Landing URLs]] have been updated, then '''uncheck''' Legacy Tracking.
