#  Does Convert Forms Use Cookies?

Convert Forms sets a single first-party cookie named *nrid*. Its purpose is to identify each visitor uniquely without asking them to log in, so the extension can tell which forms a visitor has already submitted.

## [The Visitor ID cookie (nrid)](#visitor-id-cookie)

The *nrid* cookie is written by the Tassos Framework, the shared foundation behind all of our extensions. That means the same cookie is used across every Tassos extension you run, not just Convert Forms.

Its value is a randomly generated unique ID and nothing else. It doesn't exchange information with other cookies, and it doesn't send any data to a third party.

In Convert Forms, the cookie is set when a visitor submits a form. It lasts for roughly 2.8 years and is regenerated only once it expires or the visitor clears their cookies.

No personal information is ever stored in it, including IP address, User Agent string, or Joomla User ID.

## [How to use the Visitor ID](#using-the-visitor-id)

Convert Forms saves the visitor ID with every submission, so you can work with it in a few ways:

- View it on the submission's [edit screen](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/submission-management/edit).
- Output it anywhere that accepts smart tags with [`{submission.visitor_id}`](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/features/smart-tags).
- Include it when you [export your submissions](https://www.tassos.gr/docs/convert-forms/submission-management/export).
