maybe i am stupid to this but my understanding there is 3 ways you track sales.
1. cookie, depending on the cookie expiration date the person could come back 6 months from now through another link (that doesn't over write the cookie) and you get credit for the sale.
2. session based, doesn't matter if cookie is set or not, based on the url string if the person signs up to the site right then and there you get credit for the sale. However, if the person leaves your site and signs up later through the main .com, not through your referral url, then you do not get credit for the sale.
3. white label, doesn't matter about cookies and since the only url that is branded is your url, if they come back through the main .com and not the referral url you still get credit for the sale because the main .com is your domain.
Even if the program is session based with cookies, you still losing sales from the people who try to sign up later. Now that might not be many or nearly as many as the ones you would lose that are cookie only with no session but you still losing sales if cookies are being blocked unless you have a white label.
am i missing something ?
