Query parameters

To pass data to GitBook through URL parameters, you’ll need to pass the data in the URL in the format visitor.<prop>.

Data passed through public cookies must be defined in your visitor schema through an object.

For example:

https://docs.acme.org/?visitor.language=fr&visitor.country=fr

Query parameters can be easily changed by the visitor and are best suited for non-sensitive information.
