Cookie conditions¶
This page will show you steps to configure cookie based condition. These then can be used at multiple places such as rewrite/caching/blocking rules.
Typical use-case is, you would disable cache for pages when opened in preview mode.
Here, we can achieve it by disabling caching when we have Shopify's 'preview_theme' cookie is present.
Note: For demo purpose, we will be using www.nviztest.com domain as an example.
Here, we will be using preview_theme cookie. You can use any relevant cookie
Prerequisite¶
- You must have a domain configured on Nitrogen.
Steps¶
