Hi SlotPlayer,
I apologize as I actually gave Gabriel the wrong information. Please forgive me as I’m not a very technical person. The original time to live on the cookie was one month and our system has not been changed yet. On Feb 1st, the system will be revised to a cookiless system that will track and credit the player to the last affiliate referral, not the first. I had told Gabe it was implemented but when I checked with tech, they told me they wanted to test and make it live Feb 1st. Currently, the player is still being tracked to the first affiliate, not the last. Please understand that we can’t make such sweeping changes in a moment’s notice. We will probably have it live before Feb 1st but that’s what development asked me to quote them at worst case. UPDATE: System will be ready on Monday.
Apologies,
JC.
It works the same now as it did then and I did delete the cookie.
I delete the cookie before this test:
Also I’m assuming the SourceID is the Affiliate ID.
I clicked a Rome Casino link on Affiliate site A and examined the cookie and it wrote it with Affiliate A. I also saw the Affiliate A SourceID when hovering over the links on the Rome Casino landing page.
I closed the Affiliate A tab for Rome Casino.
I then clicked a Rome Casino link on Affiliate site B and again was taken to the Rome landing page, even though in the address bar it had the Rome Casino URL with an Affiliate B sourceID hovering over any of the landing page links still showed Affiliate Site A SourceID in the bottom status bar.
Examining the cookie also revealed that the first Affiliate (A) SourceID was still there.
Is it the first affiliate that gets the sale or the last?
Also how come the Tracking field expires on Feb. 22 and the SourceID expires on Feb 6?
thanks
