Hide Campaigns

To hide campaigns from existing newsletter subscribers, follow these steps:

1. First, set Global Cookies for the site your campaigns display on following our documentation.
2. Next, you’ll edit all links that point to your website in the email newsletter you send to subscribers to add the query argument to the end of the URL ?omhide=trueFor example:
   https://staging.optinmonster.com/how-it-works/?omhide=true

Troubleshooting

How does this work exactly?
