What I ment by crappy is an affiliate can use a javascript to put your casinos cookies on a visitors pc with out ever going to your site.. There was a large case of this in the past, and a ton on non gambling affiliates.
Javascript isn’t the only way. Even though most browsers block 3rd party cookies by default, but assuming they aren’t blocked, websites can use a 1px by 1px iframe with their affiliate link to set a cookie without the users knowledge. Another popular cookie stuffing method is to put a non existing image in a forum signature. Then in your htaccess file on your website, redirect that image path to the affiliate link. Anyone that reads that thread will have the cookie set on their computer. I have ran numerous tests and about 40% of web users have 3rd party cookies blocked so someone can still reach the other 60%.
There are also some other ways but I think I said too much already. Don’t wanna be giving people ideas. :banger:
