Cookies are small text files stored by your browser on your device. They can remember website preferences or help keep you signed in. Your browser uses them to make browsing easier.
When a visitor follows an affiliate link, technical click data, such as the time of the click and reference codes, help connect a later result to the publisher, advertiser and promotional material. This supports the attribution of commission.
