Hey guys, the issue of cookies, affiliate code parsing and tracking has popped-up over on tgp2board. RockDaddy posted this to the thread:

I emailed CCBill about it and this is the reply I got.
Dear Webmaster,

While I'm not sure what the exact percentage of surfers have cookies enabled, we do realize that this could be an issue and we also offer a way for the webmaster to pass along the affiliate code into the signup page through a hidden code. Feel free to contact our support department if you would like assistance on how to do this.

This is how they say to fix the problem.
Here's the information that I have from Jeff T ([email protected])...

The webmaster can pass along the affiliate code into the signup page he would capture it like this

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ccbill_referer" VALUE="%%ccbill_referer%%">

he would insert the code into the signup page.

also he would have to edit the form before that to pass in the referral number

Feel free to contact Jeff directly if you have any further questions on this or if this doesn't make sense.

Thanks!
Alex

Looks like it's mostly on the sponsors part to do this.
