to make the affiliate program work? This means the only way the affiliates clicks is controlled is by cookies? Kenth
Kenth, I do not know other ways to track affiliate clicks and it is in fact industry standart to use cookies.
Most affiliate programs I've seen, managed or used support cookies, but they use also id's in the link as the basic means of tracking if cookies for some reason doesn't work. It was not ment as a complaint Alex. The important part of my question was is the p3p certificate is a must to even make it work? Kenth
No, P3P is not required, but you need it if you want that cookies are really set for your visitors. Else cookies will be only set until visitors closes browser window.
