Cookie Routing
When working with multiple affiliate networks, cookie routing prevents duplicate commissions through intelligent deduplication.
How it works
The conversion tracking of QUALITYCLICK can be used as a cookie router for tracking across different networks. Following the last-cookie-wins principle, only the network pixel that generated the last click is served.
Setup in 3 steps
1. Create partner accounts for networks
Create a separate partner account in QUALITYCLICK for each external network (e.g. PartnerID 98765 for "Network A", PartnerID 12345 for "Network B").
2. Add network pixels
Under the respective partner account → Conversion Tracking, enter the network's original tracking pixel and approve it:
<img src="https://www.network-a.com/pixel.aspx
?orderid=<% tid %>
&programID=456
&amount=<% umsatz %>"
width="2" height="3" border="0" />3. Set up redirect URL
Route all clicks from external networks through QUALITYCLICK via a redirect:
https://partner.your-site.com/go.cgi
?pid=98765
&wmid=cc
&cpid=1
&subid=NETWORK_PARTNER_ID
&target=https://www.your-shop.comHow deduplication works
When the QUALITYCLICK tracking pixel is called, it automatically checks: which partner/network account generated the last click (cookie check)? Only that account's conversion tracking code is served.
