How to add a new visitortag to the current user (Sitecore)?

Question

I'm using Sitecore 6.6. I want to add a new visitortag to the current user in programcode (C#). Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks a lot.

You can assign tags to the current analytics visitor through the Analytics API:

Sitecore.Analytics.Tracker.Visitor.Tags.Add("MyTagName", "content of my tag");

To debug, you can check the VisitorTags table in the Analytics database but keep in mind that it might take a few moments until the tags are saved down to the database as Analytics saves them asynchronously.

Also keep in mind that Analytics is disabled during editing mode.
