How does TradeDoubler track clicks, leads and sales?
TradeDoubler uses cookies to track advertiser sales and leads. Cookie Tracking
is the most popular method to track customers "from click through to order".
When a user clicks on your affiliate link a small text file is written, a "cookie",
to the user's browser. This cookie holds your affiliate ID, which can be identified
at the advertisers order page to credit for referred sales. The cookie that records
your affiliate ID can "live" for as long as the advertiser desires, allowing you to
get credit for customers who clicked on a link weeks, or months, before finally
purchasing or making a repeat purchase.

What about customers who have their cookies turned off?
The vast, vast majority of all Internet users have cookies enabled in their browsers
(a tiny percentage may have their cookies disabled or blocked due to software they
may be running). Cookie technology is a reality that will remain a part of consumer
tracking for individual Internet businesses. In the highly unlikely situation that
a customer has cookies disabled, the customer is out of the range of publisher
tracking and sales that occur cannot be tracked. However, more and more of TradeDoubler's
advertisers are now set up to track even if cookies are blocked.
