1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how affiliates.unstoppable.ac ("Company", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the Unstoppable Affiliates website (affiliates.unstoppable.ac) ("Website"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which details how we handle personal data.
By using our Website, and where required by law, consenting via our cookie banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits.
We may also use similar technologies like web beacons (pixels) or local storage, which function similarly to cookies. In this policy, "cookies" refers collectively to cookies and these similar technologies.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several essential purposes related to the operation of our Affiliate Program website:
- Operating our Service: To enable core functionalities like logging into your Affiliate Account, maintaining your session, and ensuring website security.
- Affiliate Tracking: To accurately track referrals generated through your unique Affiliate Links, which is fundamental for calculating your commissions.
- Performance and Analytics: To understand how visitors use our Website, identify areas for improvement, and monitor website performance.
- Functionality: To remember your preferences and settings within the Affiliate dashboard for a more personalized experience.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our Website as follows:
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies are essential for you to navigate the Website and use its core features, such as accessing secure areas (your Affiliate Account dashboard) and ensuring security (e.g., preventing cross-site request forgery). Our affiliate tracking cookies are also considered necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, as they enable commission calculation.
- Consent: These cookies do not typically require your consent, as they are necessary for providing the service you requested. Disabling them may render parts of the Website unusable, including login and potentially commission tracking.
- Examples: Session cookies (for login status), security cookies, affiliate tracking cookies linked to your clicks.
4.2 Affiliate Tracking Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies are fundamental to the Unstoppable Affiliates program. When a user clicks on one of your Affiliate Links, a tracking cookie is placed on their device. This cookie allows us to identify that the user was referred by you if they subsequently register and deposit on one of our Partner Websites within the tracking period (typically 30 days, as per our Terms and Conditions). This is how we attribute referrals and calculate your commissions.
- Necessity: Accurate tracking is essential for your participation and earnings in the program. While legally classified under necessary cookies for contract performance in many contexts, transparency about their function is crucial.
- Duration: Usually persistent cookies with a defined lifespan (e.g., 30 days).
4.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and if they encounter error messages. This helps us improve how the Website works.
- Consent: We typically require your consent to use these cookies, often obtained through our cookie banner.
- Examples: Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid, _gat).
4.4 Functionality Cookies
- Purpose: These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (like your username display preference, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features within your affiliate dashboard.
- Consent: We may require your consent to use these cookies, often obtained through our cookie banner.
- Examples: Cookies storing interface preferences or language settings.
5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by our Website (affiliates.unstoppable.ac). They include session cookies, security cookies, functionality preference cookies, and our core affiliate tracking cookies.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than our Website. We use third-party services that may set cookies, primarily for analytics. For example:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic. Google Analytics sets cookies to collect anonymous data. You can learn more about Google's practices and opt-out here: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Please note that we do not control third-party cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties for more information.
6. Cookie Duration
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser. They are typically used for necessary functions like managing your login session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They are used for purposes like remembering preferences, affiliate tracking (e.g., 30 days), and analytics.
7. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options to control or limit how we and third parties use cookies:
- Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our Website (or if required by law), you may be presented with a cookie consent banner. This tool allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies (Performance, Functionality). Strictly Necessary cookies cannot typically be disabled via this tool.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can usually set your browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that blocking all cookies, especially Strictly Necessary ones, may significantly impact the functionality of our Website and your ability to use the Affiliate Program effectively (e.g., login may fail, tracking may be impaired). Find instructions for major browsers here:
- Third-Party Opt-Outs: For analytics cookies like Google Analytics, you can use their specific opt-out tools (linked in Section 5).
Important Note: Disabling or deleting Affiliate Tracking cookies may prevent us from accurately attributing referrals to your account, which could result in unpaid commissions. These cookies are integral to the service we provide under our Affiliate Agreement.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. We will post any changes on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
