By using the following code snippet, Optimizely is able pull in from localStorage and understand which cohort a user falls into.

var kvs = localStorage.getItem('_psegs');
var segments = kvs ? JSON.parse(kvs) : [];

Inside the Optimizely UI the user will need to implement the below using Project JS.

This means the JS code will run before the Optimizely code and add the cohort ids from localStorage to the Optimizely snippet.

Still inside the Optimizely UI, in Audiences, the user will need to target the relevant Permutive cohort id. The audience inside Optimizely is created as below using their drag and drop functionality for custom JS as a 'Standard Condition' from a drop down menu on the right of their interface.

Custom JavaScript Audience conditions allow you to target your 'experiment' for a uniquely defined set of pages or visitors.

The corresponding cohort id will need to be added by a user familiar with the Permutive dashboard in order to see the cohort they wish to target along with the id.

The Permutive user will need to set up the specific (or choose existing) cohorts that they wish to use for the Optimizely audience.
