Optional affiliate marketing technologies

Our affiliate programme currently uses a seven-day referral attribution period. This means an affiliate may receive credit for a qualifying purchase made within that period, subject to the programme’s terms and the operation of its tracking technology.
These optional technologies are categorised as Marketing in our cookie consent settings.
During development, GoAffPro referral identifiers were detected when marketing consent was accepted but were not detected in the cookies or local storage when consent was denied.
The exact cookies and storage identifiers present may vary depending on which pages you visit, whether you follow an affiliate link, your consent choices and your browser settings.
5. Shopping basket, checkout and payments
When you use our product page or proceed to checkout, additional cookies may be used to support shopping, fraud prevention, payment security and payment processing.
Depending on the payment method you choose, these may be set by Wix or by payment service providers, including Google Pay and other payment processing services.
These technologies are used to support the relevant checkout or payment functions. Some payment providers may also process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.
6. Optional cookies and consent
We use a cookie consent banner that allows visitors to accept or reject optional cookies and similar technologies, or manage their preferences.
Optional affiliate marketing technologies are used to recognise referrals from our affiliate partners and help attribute qualifying purchases.
You can use our website without accepting optional marketing technologies. However, declining them may prevent an affiliate referral from being recognised or credited.
We do not currently use Google Analytics or separate advertising pixels on our website.
7. Managing cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, block certain cookies or delete them.
