How Long Does the Shopee Affiliate Cookie Last?

What Is the Affiliate Cookie?

A cookie is a small file stored on the buyer's browser or app when they click your affiliate link. It allows Shopee to identify that the person reached the product through your recommendation.

How Long Does the Shopee Cookie Last?

The Shopee affiliate cookie usually lasts 7 days from the click. This period may vary by campaign or product type, but the standard rule is this. Some special campaigns may have a longer or shorter cookie.

How the Cookie Works in Practice

If someone clicks your link on Monday, the cookie is active for 7 days, until Sunday. If they buy any product within that period, the sale is yours. If they buy the following Monday, outside the period, the commission will not be attributed unless they click your link again.

What Can Break the Cookie Early

Clicking another Shopee affiliate link after yours, clearing browsing data, using a different browser, or buying on another device can cause the cookie to be replaced or lost. The last affiliate link clicked usually wins attribution.

How to Take Advantage of the Cookie Period

Create messages that encourage same-day purchase. Flash deals, short-term coupons and low price alerts work well because they create urgency. Reposting the link periodically renews the cookie for those who haven't bought yet.

Automation and Cookie Renewal
