How to Track CCBill Affiliate Link Cookies?
I am trying to find software to track my CCBill affiliate ID all the way through to the sign page.
I tried Chrome Web Dev tools but it does not show my affiliate ID. Does anyone have a solution?

click the sign up page after following through the site from your link or banner, then search your affiliate code in their page code. It should be in the coding..
use ctrl and f , or goto the setting top right on google chrome and use find, add your affiliate code

Checking out affiliate programs like AdultForce I can see my affiliate ID tracked all the way through to the sign page.
Is CCBill different?

I found this EditThisCookie to help me track cookies.
I don't see any CCBill affiliate ID being passed through.

You can use the HTTP Headers Live addon in Firefox to see what cookies are being sent and set in the headers. It looks like the aff id is encrypted in the CCBill ones.

I don't see this value anywhere PA=2026515 in any cookies on the signup page.
Code:

For starters it's not important that your affiliate ID be "passed through". A cookie just needs to be set on ccbill.com so when the user goes back to CCBill to buy a membership CCBill knows who to credit.
That said, I've discovered the syntax CCBill is using to set cookies is malformed. At least I think it is. For example… Code:
Set-Cookie: 917833=CLICKS2xxWAEVsmOZT6t8ryDiItk8ZwBtWHLb2R5!PX0ImB^PNcIncgl893aYl1grn182U*; expires=? 16-Feb-21 08:02:57 GMT; path=/; domain=.ccbill.com Anyway, I wrote a tool to check affiliate links. Feel free to use it… studio3x .com/tools/urltest [I'm not allowed to post URLs yet, so you'll need to copy it and take the space out.] CCBill does not support HTTPS, so make sure you check the box that says "Don't Check HTTPS" otherwise it will timeout. That tool will show you each redirect that happens in the affiliate link and if not HTTPS, will test the HTTPS version of the link (unless you tell it not to). Then it will show what cookies are set, for how long, and where it redirects to. If you just want to see the return headers for a particular URL, this will do that… www .rexswain .com/httpview.html

Thank you for the tool. Do you know if the CCBill cookie is encrypted?
Also, is there any impact from redirecting 307(Temporary), no follow, sponsors HTTPS URL to a non-secure URL? I use PrettyLinks for URL management. Quote:

Cookies are encrypted in transit when being sent to secure URLS (HTTPS). CCBill's URLs are not encrypted and will fail if you try to call them with encryption (despite the fact that it's the year 2021). Cookie values can also be encrypted, though I'm not sure what that accomplishes. They're clearly using some random-looking strings (e.g. "917833=CLICKS2xxWAEVsmOZT6t8ryDiItk8ZwBtWHLb2R5!P X0ImB^PNcIncgl893aYl1grn182U*") it's impossible to tell if the randomness of that string is because they've encrypted the value, or if it's just some type of hash that only they understand. Either way I'm not sure it matters much as long as they understand the value when they see it. Quote:
A third party cookie is when a cookie is set when a page loads something off a different domain (e.g. an image or a script). That's not what's happening in this case. The user actually goes (for a split second) to CCBill and is then redirected to the sponsor site. Redirects aren't "third party", they're first party.

no, it would be paid out via your ccbill account via the cascade they have setup with ccbill. Some list ccbill then cascade to epoch and sometimes they switch back and forth but it always pays out to ccbill.
