The idea is to distribute as many of these cookies as possible to visitors to your website so that you can earn money from them later. If even a small proportion of these users then go to the shop in question, you can expect a commission. But in my opinion, this will stop in the foreseeable future, because if Chrome and Firefox completely prevent cookies from being placed in the future, it will no longer be of any use. Which I think is a good thing, because unfortunately there are also affiliates who simply try to spread as many cookies as possible in every conceivable way (and many of them are not right).
I therefore prepared for a future without cookies on my blogs and philippines number whatsapp websites a long time ago and have not used banners, affiliate scripts, forms or other affiliate advertising materials that set cookies for a long time. I only use normal text affiliate links that do not collect or set anything on my website. Only after clicking on them is a cookie placed in the linked online shop or another type of assignment made so that the shop knows that I sent the customer there. So the elimination of cookies is not a problem for my website, but it is for the shop. In the future, they will have to find a solution to continue tracking that a visitor to their shop came via a certain affiliate link.
It will be interesting to see how this is solved. Otherwise, in my view, affiliate marketing is relatively harmless in terms of data protection, because the affiliate does not receive any of the customer's data. Only the shop knows it. The WordPress plugin AAWP also makes it possible to integrate information and even product images from the Amazon affiliate program without Amazon being able to collect any information. 2/ 5 Data protection risk I am firmly convinced that affiliate marketing will survive the end of cookies, because it is a very important source of revenue for online shops and other affiliate program providers.
