Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 28, 2026
Affiliatops uses first-party cookies only. We do not run third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Some cookies belong to affiliatops.com; others are set by our tracker script on the sites of businesses that use Affiliatops, so their affiliate programs work.
Why no consent banner?
Every cookie listed here is strictly necessary for sign-in or for referral attribution — the feature the site owner asked for. None are used for advertising or shared with ad networks, so under the common e-privacy rules these may be set without a banner. You can still clear or block them in your browser; blocking them breaks sign-in and stops new referral attribution, but nothing else on the page breaks.
