Digistore24 uses cookies to track sales.
Here's how it works based on their platform's functionality:
Tracking Affiliate Sales
When a visitor clicks on an affiliate's link, a cookie is placed on their computer or device. This cookie contains the affiliate's unique ID, ensuring that any purchase made by the visitor is credited to the correct affiliate. Digistore24 typically sets cookies with a duration of 6 months. This means that if a visitor makes a purchase within 6 months of clicking the affiliate link, the affiliate will receive credit for the sale. However, the cookie duration might vary depending on the merchant's specific settings. First Click vs. Last Click Attribution Digistore24 primarily uses last-click attribution. This means the affiliate whose link was clicked most recently before the sale will be credited with the commission. The cookie is updated if the visitor clicks on a different affiliate link. If the visitor logs into the merchant's website using the same account across multiple devices, Digistore24 uses server-side tracking in addition to cookies to ensure the affiliate still gets credit. Privacy and GDPR Compliance Digistore24 complies with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Visitors are informed about cookie usage, and merchants can customize cookie notifications. Users can opt out of cookies, which may affect tracking accuracy. How Cookies Work in Practice
When an affiliate promotes a product, their link (e.g., https://www.digistore24.com/redir/12345/affiliateID) contains the affiliate's unique ID. When clicked, the cookie stores this ID on the visitor's device. If the visitor makes a purchase, Digistore24 reads the cookie to determine which affiliate should receive the commission. Cookies are fundamental to Digistore24's affiliate tracking system.
They ensure affiliates are properly credited for the sales they drive.
