AMCV_<variable name>@AdobeOrg | The AMCV cookie is set in the first-party domain of a browser. This means it is set in the domain of the site currently visited by a user. As such, ID service code and other Experience Cloud code libraries can read the MID stored in the AMCV cookie. However, because the AMCV cookie is set in the first-party domain, it cannot be used to track and identify users across different domains. Instead, the ID service relies on the organization ID and the demdex ID to return the correct MID when a site visitor navigates to a different domain.
