What about the people having their cookies turned off

[yanov]

For example people who are working with CJ.com
and have people who buy from them but have disabled their coockies.So CJ is unable to track them.
Can then the advertiser cheat you?
And what precautions you have to take to prevent being cheated?

You could set up a script on your site that shows a message if cookies are turned off (i think there's one at hotscripts)... but i dont know if that would help or not...

CJ's interests are the same as yours - in that they get paid based on your success. So CJ will try not to cheat you - if anything they might cheat the merchant! (not saying they do by the way).

I am finding about 3.5% of visitors being without cookie support. Presumably some of these are not humans anyway. So I guess you will need to factor this "leakage" into your forecasts.

:)))))))))))))))))
Man ,I love the sense of humour in this society.
Well If they cheat it means that they help the publisher.If I'm the publisher I'm not against it.

I hope this script will help.I want to observe my potential money.(GREEEEEEEED).

I'm also looking for a script like this. So far, I have had no luck. I checked both asprin and hotscripts, no dice. Any ideas?

Unless it's server side, it won't work if they have JavaScript turned off.

Nobody is "cheating" you if those sales don't track (and they won't) -- this is a technology issue, not an ethics issue.

Odds are that if they have cookies turned off, they are not shoppers. It is nearly impossible to shop online with cookies turned off.

An advertiser with good enough technology will simply append a sessionId at the end of each link...

I could do that, but it's a fair bit of work for something that will only change the payout by 2%. It seems easier to just increase the payout, or spend that time trying to increase conversions, which essentially has the same effect for the publisher.
