Each affiliate is given a unique tracking link that helps identify which marketer or partner drove a particular conversion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These tracking links typically contain UTM parameters, sub IDs, cookies, or even advanced fingerprinting mechanisms to follow the user journey.
