Hello ADK, maybe I can be of some assistance here.
When someone clicks on the banner code a cookie is set on their machine. If for some reason we are unable to set the cookie the affiliate ID will be associated with the surfers IP and we will track it that way. The transaction will then be associated with the affiliate ID whether it is a successful transaction or not and the affiliate given credit.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
