## Objective
- Define three new pixels (impression, tap, dismiss) for the day-7 existing-user promo half-sheet.
- Mirror the parameter shape of the existing `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_*` pixels to allow cross-audience comparison.
- Instrument the day-7 existing-user promo half-sheet with impression, tap, and dismiss pixels.
- These are permanent pixels (no expiry) — the feature is not an experiment.
- The origin value `funnel_modal_ios__subscriptionnudge` flows downstream automatically to `m_privacy-pro_offer_screen_impression` and `m_subscribe` without additional work.
## Testing the feature
## Android reference
Android uses a **single shared pixel** (`AppPixelName.ONBOARDING_DAX_CTA_SHOWN`, ctaId `DAX_INTRO_PRIVACY_PRO`) for both the reinstaller promo and the day-7 promo, with **no `origin` pixel parameter** — origin is only embedded in the subscription purchase URL (`https://duckduckgo.com/pro?origin=…`) for downstream funnel attribution:
| Android audience | Pixel name | `origin` in URL |
|---|---|---|
| Reinstaller / skipped onboarding | `ONBOARDING_DAX_CTA_SHOWN` | `funnel_skippedonboarding_android` |
| Day-7 existing users (new) | `ONBOARDING_DAX_CTA_SHOWN` | `funnel_newusermodal_android` |
The two audiences are **indistinguishable at the pixel level** on Android — analysis relies on the origin flowing to downstream purchase pixels. Source: [Android PR #8369](https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/pull/8369), `BrowserTabViewModel.kt` + `CtaViewModel.kt`.
Android pixel definition / privacy triage tasks cover Phase 1 paywall instrumentation only (`m_subscription_paywall_not_seen_*`) — the promo modal itself got no separate pixel definition or privacy triage:

## Option A — Recommended: Reuse existing pixels (mirrors Android approach)
Reuse `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_impression/tap/dismiss` for the day-7 audience. Audience attribution relies on the origin URL parameter (`funnel_modal_ios__subscriptionnudge`) flowing to downstream purchase pixels — identical to Android's approach.
**No new pixels required. No privacy triage required for new pixels.**
| Pixel | Trigger |
|---|---|
| `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_impression` | Day-7 half-sheet shown |
| `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_tap` | User taps CTA |
| `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_dismiss` | User dismisses without tapping CTA |
**Trade-off:** Cross-audience analysis (reinstallers vs day-7 users) is not directly available from pixels alone; it requires joining on origin via downstream `m_privacy-pro_offer_screen_impression` / `m_subscribe` pixels.
---
## Option B — Alternative: Separate pixels per audience
Define three new pixels exclusively for the day-7 audience. Provides direct per-audience split in pixel dashboards without filtering by origin. Requires a new privacy triage.
### Testing
- Feature is implemented in: `iOS/DuckDuckGo/SubscriptionPromo/SubscriptionPromoExistingUserCoordinator.swift`

## Behavior rules
### Behavior rules
- Impression and tap/dismiss are mutually exclusive per install — the modal is shown at most once.
- `ru` and `free_trial` are evaluated at time of display, same as in the skipped-onboarding promo.
- The dismiss pixel fires on both explicit close (X button) and swipe-to-dismiss; neither path fires the tap pixel.
- If the user taps CTA, tap fires but dismiss does not.
**Trade-off:** Three new pixels to triage. Structurally identical to `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_*` — no new parameter types are introduced.
---
## Notes and status
- Pixel definitions are committed to `iOS/PixelDefinitions/pixels/definitions/subscription.json5`.
- These pixels are structurally identical to `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_*` (same parameters, same suffixes) — no new parameter types are introduced.
- Android equivalent pixels: Android uses a **single shared pixel** (`AppPixelName.ONBOARDING_DAX_CTA_SHOWN`, ctaId `DAX_INTRO_PRIVACY_PRO`) for both the reinstaller promo and the day-7 promo — the two audiences are distinguished solely by the `origin` field:
- Reinstaller/skipped onboarding: `origin = "funnel_skippedonboarding_android"`
- Day-7 existing users: `origin = "funnel_newusermodal_android"`
iOS takes a more granular approach with separate pixel names per audience (`m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_*` vs `m_privacy-pro_existing_user_promotion_*`), which allows direct per-audience funnel analysis without filtering by origin.

- Origin `funnel_modal_ios__subscriptionnudge` needs formal approval via the [Origin Proposal form](https://form.asana.com/?k=Wy3aY17vglr2bihpUHoyBA&d=137249556945) — tracked in the origin request subtask above.
- Privacy triage is required for the new pixels — see `ios-subscription-day7-promo-privacy-triage.md`.
- Option A pixels are already committed to `iOS/PixelDefinitions/pixels/definitions/subscription.json5` as `m_privacy-pro_skipped_onboarding_promotion_*`; reusing them for this audience requires no code changes to pixel definitions.
- If Option B is chosen, new definitions must be added to `subscription.json5` and a privacy triage opened.
