According to the Adobe Analytics Developer Professional study guide, query string parameters are used in the Adobe Experience Platform to identify search terms on a retail website. Query string parameters are the portion of a URL that follows the question mark (?) and contains key-value pairs that provide additional information about the request. For example, a URL containing a query string parameter might look like this:www.example.com/search?term=shoes. In this example, the query string parameter is "term=shoes", which indicates that the search term being used is "shoes".

Access or store personally identifiable information (PII) like your email address. ID Service cookies are used to set and store a unique ID for your site visitors (the MID). This unique ID is used to track user activity on the website and to allow the ID service to collect and share data with other Experience Cloud solutions. However, ID Service cookies do not access or store any personally identifiable information (PII) like your email address.

The data object to use to track product names in the shopping cart on a retail website is DigitalData.cartproduct.productName. This data object contains an array of objects that represent all the products that are currently in the shopping cart. These objects contain information such as the product name, product ID, quantity, and more.

Within Adobe Analytics, it typically takes around 5 minutes for data to be processed and ready for reporting. This is due to the fact that data must be collected, processed, and stored before it can be made available for reporting. This process can take a few minutes depending on the amount of data being processed. However, Adobe has various optimizations in place to reduce the time it takes for data to be processed and ready for reporting.
