Yeah, I cannot imagine any reason they wouldn’t use cookies to track this. The moment you arrive via an affiliate link they’re going to know that that’s how you got to the site for that session.

That’s not going to work for links sent by text or whatever.

How do you think that would work? Like the site with the affiliate link should drop a third party cookie for gumroad? That’s a pretty big requirement.

When you go to the website, it can save that cookie for the session, even if you later remove the parameter.
