Ask What is the relationship between third-party affiliate cookies and push ads?

[Brajet]

Third-party cookies and push ads are connected through digital advertising practices. Third-party cookies are small pieces of data stored by websites that allow advertisers to track user behavior across multiple sites. This tracking enables advertisers to create targeted ads based on users' interests and browsing habits. Push ads, which are notifications sent directly to users' devices, often rely on third-party cookies for personalization. By gathering information on a user's preferences, third-party cookies help advertisers send relevant push notifications, increasing the likelihood of engagement. However, due to privacy concerns, many browsers are phasing out third-party cookies, forcing advertisers to find alternative methods for targeting users while maintaining their privacy.

Third-party affiliate cookies play a key role in tracking conversions from push ads. When a user clicks on a push ad and lands on the offer page, a third-party cookie is often dropped to track the user's activity, such as whether they make a purchase or complete a sign-up. This data is then sent back to the affiliate network or tracker to credit the conversion. However, with increasing privacy restrictions and cookie-blocking features (like in iOS or browsers such as Safari), relying solely on cookies for tracking push ad performance is becoming more challenging. Many affiliates are now turning to server-to-server (S2S) postback tracking as an alternative.

Third-party affiliate cookies help track user behavior across websites, and they play a big role when running push ads for affiliate marketing. When someone clicks a push notification and visits a landing page, cookies can record their activity and attribute any purchase or action to your campaign. This way, even if the conversion happens later, the affiliate still gets credit. Without cookies, tracking conversions from push ads becomes much harder, especially for delayed or repeat actions.
