Cookie consent is a complex legal subject, varying across different jurisdictions. While the Attribution Library offers tools for managing cookie consent, it is the responsibility of your organization to consult with legal experts to ensure compliance with specific regional laws and regulatory requirements.

​
Understanding referral cookies

The Attribution JS employs a specific first-party cookie to enable returning user to claim their referral discount. This cookie functions as a strictly necessary or essential cookie by default, but should be configured based on your privacy guidelines. It’s important to note that these cookies do not directly monitor the identity of returning users. Instead, it records the referral code, also known as the [Unique campaign code (ucc), originating from the invitation link provided by a referrer and additional parameters to support returning users.
Cookies are not required to directly attribute referrals in Cello. They are used to assist in attributing a referral when a new user leaves and returns to the signup.
