Hi I want to code an affiliate tracking software. I know cookies is used. when i look through other similar sites, they say: there are other ways that we can't release for security reasons. now that I want to code such a program, what are issues that I should notice? thanks
Issues may be that cookies can be cleared, or even accidentally deleted. They may not last the full thirty days (or however long) they should have been issues for, and if that customer returns and purchases, the sale won't be recorded. IP tracking combined with User Agent tracking may be another method (both, or one or the other). Just a suggestion. Jay
