Currently, ClickFunnels does not have a built-in lifetime sticky cookie feature for affiliate tracking. This means that if an affiliate refers a lead who does not purchase immediately but returns later (even through another funnel), the original affiliate may lose the commission.

To maximize fairness and reward affiliates for their marketing efforts, we request the implementation of a Lifetime Sticky Cookie option. This would ensure that once an affiliate refers a lead, they receive commissions for all future purchases made by that customer across all funnels under the same ClickFunnels account—regardless of when the purchase happens.

Key Benefits:

✅ Guaranteed Lifetime Commissions: Affiliates continue to earn commissions on all future purchases from their referrals, even if the customer buys months or years later.

✅ Stronger Affiliate Retention: Affiliates will have greater incentive to promote ClickFunnels offers, knowing they are securing long-term commissions.

✅ Maximizes Revenue for Affiliates & ClickFunnels Users: With a lifetime cookie, affiliates will be motivated to drive higher-quality traffic, resulting in more sales.

How It Would Work:

When an affiliate refers a lead, a sticky cookie is placed on the visitor’s browser and tied to their email/IP.

This cookie never expires, ensuring that all future purchases from that customer (across all funnels in the same ClickFunnels account) are attributed to the original affiliate.

The cookie should override only if the user signs up under another affiliate with explicit re-attribution rules.

The feature should be toggleable, allowing ClickFunnels users to choose between standard cookie durations (30, 60, 90 days) or a lifetime option.

Suggested Implementation:

Add a Lifetime Sticky Cookie setting in the affiliate settings panel.

Ensure tracking is tied to the user's email address in addition to browser cookies for greater accuracy.

Allow users to choose between standard duration (30, 60, 90 days) or lifetime tracking in their affiliate settings.

Enable a Lifetime Commission model so affiliates get credit for any purchase their referral makes in the future.
