7. Cookie

The customers' information, such as purchasing habits and website preferences left when they visit your store.

8. Cookie Duration

Cookie Duration is the maximum number of days (typically 30-90 days) between the last click and the order, at which the affiliate will get a commission for the referral order. As long as that customer uses the same device and browser, and no other affiliate link or coupon is used when the order is placed, the cookie won't be overwritten and will give the respective affiliate a commission!

For example, you set the cookie duration to 30 days. Thus, within 30 days, the customer places an order even if not via an affiliate link, the respective affiliate will receive a commission. NO conversions will be recorded if the customer purchases not via an affiliate link from day 31 onwards.
