Edge Content Protection

Our Edge Content Protection gives you control and flexibility to secure your premium content. Built on the Edge Integration Framework, it allows clients to configure Entitlement cookies that determine how content is rendered. This makes paywalls secure and virtually impossible to bypass.

Up to three protection levels can be configured, routing users to different experiences based on their Entitlement status, which is set as a cookie on your site. Clients can manage Entitlement protection levels, bot management, and referral agent targeting directly through the Delivery Edge Integrations Admin screens.

Availability

Edge Content Protection is available to all Arc XP clients.

The Entitlement cookie must be set and configured on your site; detailed instructions are available in the Arc XP Developer Center.
