BizSugar.com › Online Marketing › The Only Situation When I Applaud Deleting Affiliate Cookies

If (a) you are taking (direct) orders on a machine that has affiliate cookies, and (b) if once the order is entered into your system you see the same confirmation page that the end user would've seen had they placed the order online, then the order will be attributed to the affiliate whose cookie is set on your computer. To avoid cancelling those affiliate commissions later -- which will inflate your program's reversal rate, make affiliates unhappy, and cry out for explanations -- make it a habit to clear (delete) those affiliate cookies from your computer(s).
