Question

What is an affiliate cookie and why does it matter?

Cookies track referrals and determine who earns commission for a certain time period.

When someone clicks your affiliate link, a cookie is stored in their browser. If they purchase within the cookie duration (e.g., 30–90 days), you earn commission. Longer cookie durations increase your chances of getting credit for sales.
