What are cookies and How long do they last?
Well, those who know about affiliate marketing will see a thing or two about cookies.
It’s like a bit of data that contains information about your referrals. Moreover, it helps your merchant remember that this particular referral clicked on your website last before making a purchase.
The good thing is that the cookie lifespan for Jumia’s affiliate program lasts for up to 30 days.
This means that, even if your referral doesn’t buy something from Jumia on the same day that they clicked on your affiliate link but do so at a later date within the 30 days lifespan of your cookie, you’d still get credited.
