(BIZ) Cookie Clarification Question
I never did do much affiliate stuff, but there has always been a niggling question, about something I have never FULLY understood in my mind. TBH, I have not asked directly before, cause I didn't want to sound stupid.
But as it doesn't really apply to me anymore (95% Retired) I just thought I'd throw it out there... I've asked a few people in person, but have always had different replies, so perhaps GFY could collectively answer this once and for all:
Senario - Affiliate 1 signs up to become an affiliate of "xyzhotpornosluts.com" They are a legit company, and use ccBill.
He sends a surfer to the site, and it sets (lets say) a 30 day cookie - Fine...
So, if that same surfer, returns to that site within 30 days, Aff 1 gets the commission. If he returns in 31 days - The site makes the entire sale - FAIR enough...
But my question is this. Lets say that after a week - 7 days - The same surfer considers joining, but decides to check out a review site - Like 'rabbits' or similar - reads the review, and then clicks to go 'visit site' - Which sets THIER COOKIE...
So, the surfer joins. Who gets the commission? Is it Aff 1, who introduced him to the site, or the review site, as they were the most recent?
In other words, does a 30 day cookie stay in place for 30 days REGARDLESS, or does it get overwritten by a new 30 day cookie - As its the most recent? - Even if aff 1s cookie is only 7 days old?
The sale goes to: Aff 1 or the Review site (Aff 2) ???
