Change website content based on behaviour

Q: Can I change the content of my site based on some basic behavioural properties?
A: Yes, this is possible: By reading the LeadBoxer cookies with javascript, you can get basic information like number of sessions and pageviews.

LeadBoxer cookies (yum ;)

There are 3 cookies set by the LeadBoxer JavaScript:
  1. 1.
    A cookie orientated to keeping user data:
    _otui <random number client site>. <first visit start unix timestamp>. <previous visit start unix timestamp>. <current visit start unix timestamp>. <session count>. <life time event view count>
    example
    _otui 1279273569088.1279273569088.1279273569088.1.13
  2. 2.
    A cookie orientated to keeping session data:
    _ots <session event view count>. <current visit start unix timestamp>. <previous event view unix timestamp>. <current event view unix timestamp
    example
    _ots 13.1279273569088.1279273785569.1279273833718
  3. 3.
    A cookie orientated to keeping referrer data:
    _otr <session first referrer event view unix timestamp>.<referrer url>
    example
    _otr 1279273431384.http%3A//www.example.com/an/example/referrer.html
You can read the content of LeadBoxer cookie using javascript, make sure you split the data correctly before processing. See example below.
Example
<!-- note: you should remove the defer attribute from the script tag to not worry about load on ready stuff -->
<script src="//script.leadboxer.com/?dataset=your dataset id"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// get the cookie data and split the numbers
var _otua = _otui.split(".");
// define the values
var sessions = _otua[4];
var pageviews = _otua[5];
//alert the session number
alert(sessions);
//alert the user pageview number
alert(pageviews);
</script>
