Quick Definition

Small data files that track your BountyCore activity and ensure offers credit properly to your account when you complete tasks.

Detailed Explanation

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser that websites use to remember information about your visit. On BountyCore, cookies play a critical role in tracking your offer completions and ensuring you receive proper credit.

When you click an offer on BountyCore, a tracking cookie is placed in your browser. This cookie contains your unique user ID, the specific offer ID, and a timestamp. When you complete the offer requirements (sign up for a service, make a purchase, download an app), the advertiser's system checks for this BountyCore cookie to verify the completion.

Without cookies enabled, there's no way to connect your offer completion back to your BountyCore account, meaning you won't receive points even if you legitimately completed the task. This is why cookie management is one of the most important technical concepts for BountyCore users to understand.

Why It Matters

Cookie-related issues are the #1 cause of missing points on BountyCore, accounting for over 60% of support tickets. Understanding how cookies work can prevent you from losing earnings worth hundreds or thousands of points.

How It Works

1. You click an offer on BountyCore's offer wall 2. A first-party cookie is placed in your browser with tracking data 3. You complete the offer requirements on the advertiser's site 4. The advertiser checks for the BountyCore cookie 5. If found, they send a completion notification to BountyCore 6. Your account is credited with points 7. The cookie remains active for 30-90 days

Examples

  • Enable cookies for offers to track properly
