You can override the default 6 month cookie duration by adding a space at the end of your landing page URL followed by the number of days your affiliate referral cookies should last -- e.g., for the URL and duration you provided, you would enter your landing page URL like this:

Because URLs normally cannot include spaces, our system knows that when you enter a landing page URL that ends with a space followed by a number, it will interpret the number as the cookie duration and everything before the space as the actual landing page URL that buyers should arrive at after clicking an affiliate's hop link.



Since affiliates using our system would tend to expect our 6 month default cookie expiration, you should be quite clear with your affiliates if you will be altering this. A good practice is to have an affiliate recruitment page on your site where you place your actual sign-up link along with any special instructions or other terms such as a nonstandard cookie expiration, then have any other affiliate recruitment links on your site or elsewhere pointing to that page; then, enter the URL of that page as your More Information URL (in Seller Admin > Affiliate Program Settings), so affiliates can find it easily again via the More Info button in their Affiliate Admin.

Is 6 months the maximum?

If a lifetime cookie possible?
