Week in Review: Affiliate Tracking Could Be Unaffected By Privacy Changes

We’re racing towards the end of Q1 and affiliate tracking is still the issue puzzling the industry. All kinds of solutions have been suggested and tested. There’s still no concrete, unified solution. But we seem to be getting closer to it.
