Microsoft's next-generation Web browser will see a release candidate "early next year," and it will include a unique, just announced privacy protection called Tracking Protection. The feature will give users control over which sites can send and receive data from their browser, which might arouse the ire of some Web marketing operations that use browser tracking as part of their business model....

Ad Block Pro and "Tracking Protection" = less sales

moeloubani · 12-07-2010, 05:05 PM

plz link to 'private mode in ie8' thread where everyone says this is the end for affiliates

point is that cookies help people as they go from site to site, not hurt them

affiliate programs could simply carry the ref id over in the links on their sites... problem solved

yeah, affiliate programs should not be relying exclusively on cookies in the first place or the ref code being carried from page to page in the URL. The initial hit should be logged and then when a user joins the site the site should see if there is a match in the database for the same user.

IP tracking still works.

If the user doesn't supply an IP address then I don't think they can't
even get sent the webpage.

ya really. the paranoid OP obviously doesn't know how affiliate tracking works. CCBill offers several ways to track - configurable in the affiliate program setup. IP is default.

Speaking about cookies,96% of my surfers have cookies enabled so i guess most of people dont care about that functions.

HomerSimpson · 12-07-2010, 08:00 PM

CCBIll uses cookie + IP tracking so I guess there will be no problems...

Si · 12-07-2010, 08:07 PM

baaaahhhhhhhghhghhghg!

CashGordon · 12-07-2010, 08:11 PM

You shall check your sponsors if they track IP + cookie, than you shall have no problems.

The tracking method can not be selected by the affiliate, right?
