The Recently Viewed Products algorithm is one of Insider One's personalized algorithms. It tracks the user’s product-view behavior collected from the UCD, capturing data from both Web and Mobile events. In return, the Recently Viewed Products algorithm provides recommendations based on the user’s recently viewed products. It performs best on the cart pages. It is available on Web Smart Recommender, API-based Recommender, and App Recommender.
