Hi guys, I am reviewing an affiliate system that I created a while ago. I am using a very simple method to do this, but I am curious if there is any better system (better I mean less missed affiliate purchases). 1. User click on affiliate link http://thedomain.com/?a=1234 2. The if $_GET['a'] is set, we check if that is an valid affiliate, and then set a cookie for that 3. At purchase, we check if that cookie still is there, if so, we register it as a affiliate purchase and that info is stored in the purchase database What should I do if they do not allow cookies? I could amend a=1234 onto every url that they pass, but that would not be a "beautiful" solution. Maybe I can also create a SESSION that stores the affiliate information so that it at least get registered if the purchase is completed within the session? What do you think is the best way?
