In particular reporting on ecommerce sales with visitors who had a specific cookie?
you can use use user defined variables to filter visits from a webprofile
to do this set a user defined value
_gaq.push([‘_setVar’, ‘SOME_VALUE’]);
This will set a cookie on the users browser with SOME_VALUE
Next create a filter in the analytics profile to either include or exclude visitors with this cookie value.
Go to Filters > New Filter > Select Custom Filter > Check either exlcude or include
Filter Field User Defined
Filter Pattern SOME_VALUE
Case sensitive No
Hit Save.
Now all the data in the profile including ecommerce data will be filtered based on this cookie.
If you dont want to filter at profile level you can also use visitor level custom varaibles and then create advanced segment to see certain value of variable at a time.
Hope this helps.
