Profile merge: how is data placed on the right Profiles?
Once the script is installed on your website, Unknown Profiles are automatically created in APSIS One based on the cookie ID. (Ely_vID: Profile ID)
Visitors associated with your Magento account that are not synced with APSIS One are identified via their Cookie ID.
Magento Subscribers/Customers are synced with Unknown Profiles thanks to the Cookie ID, and (WHEN - what action) a Known Profile is created with both the Magento profile data and email address as an Email Attribute in APSIS One.
Both Known and Unknown Profiles are updated with their browsing behaviour in APSIS One.
Note: Unknown Profiles are created as visitors browse through your website, and a Profile that has been identified previously might not be identified in all of their future browsing instances.
In example, if a visitor clears their cookies or visits from a new device, they will remain unidentified until a merge happens with a consent-related activity(Benjamin wording - change).
