_mkto_datetime Cookie

What does the _mkto_datetime cookie do?

The `_mkto_datetime` cookie is a first-party cookie set by Marketo to determine the date and time when the user visited a certain page, which can be used for tracking purposes.

Why this cookie matters

This cookie is commonly used by marketo for marketing purposes – such as tracking usage behaviour, optimising experience, or enabling marketing functionality.

Because it's categorised as marketing, many jurisdictions require that users give explicit consent before it can be activated. If blocked or denied by the visitor, personalised ads or retargeting features may not function properly.
