how long do affiliate 'cookies' last?

Depends on the sponsor. Try this: clear your cookies and then click your affiliate links. Then check your cookies. You should be able to check their expiration date.

ccbill is 3 days by default -

**VTcash** · 08-04-2007, 02:00 PM

also if the surfer clears out his history and cookies everyday as some do, then the expiry date means nothing.

If they do not then it depends on the sponsor :-)

3, 7, and 30 days are the most common.

cool, thanks for good answers

I guess I should post a 'spam me with 30 day cookie sponsors that convert' thread

so what happens if today, a surfer clicks a link on my site to a sponsor, and then tomorrow the same surfer clicks somebody elses link to the same sponsor and then joins, does the first click aff id count for a sale, or the last click aff id? (I realize it would be very rare, I'm just curious)

I can only answer about the affiliate program I manage:

*All orders tracked via session ID+Affiliate ID+180 day Cookie

Check out my sig! :D

Yetiscash.com has 180days cookies as well

**spacedog** · 08-20-2007, 06:38 PM

I was going to make a new topic but this one was there and close enough:

Should I care about leaving my obviously porn domain name cookie on a surfers comp? If his wife's not into it then it's his responsibility to clean up after himself, or mine, or is this a nonissue?

In CC Bill you can set how long they last and what kind of cookies are recorded
