Turning off cookie'ing

All,

Laws in countries outside of the US have cookie compliance that say websites have to disclose if they are collecting cookie data and allow visitors to opt out.  I know we Marketo users can turn off form prefill at the form level, but is it possible to do it at the lead level?

Example: Person opts out of cookie'ing on the website and that triggers a flow step to disable form prefill just for that lead.

Re: Turning off cookie'ing

You can't use a Flow step because that means you are tracking the lead! Cookies are about more than PreFill.

To disable cookies, first make sure you're running the latest Munchkin (http://munchkin.marketo.net/munchkin-beta.js).

Then give users a link to a page with the query param

  marketo_opt_out=true

in the URL.

Correction: though this feature is now officially documented -- previously, it was unofficially claimed but not implemented in reality -- it doesn't work without an additional hack, which I'll publish on my blog.
