CookieYes Affiliate Program (Tapfiliate)

Last updated on September 2, 2025

The CookieYes Affiliate Program enables you to earn revenue by referring new users to the CookieYes consent management solution.

For every successful conversion, you will receive a 30% commission, which recurs each year for three years as long as the referred user remains subscribed. You will also continue to earn a 30% commission on any upgrades or downgrades to that subscription for three years.

Note: Commission eligibility applies only to the first website for which the user purchases a plan using your referral link. Any additional websites added under the same account will not qualify for commission.

Eligibility & Requirements

Commission Structure

The CookieYes Affiliate Program offers a straightforward, high-reward commission model for every successful referral.

What You Earn

  • Earn 30% commission on every successful conversion generated via your unique referral link.

There are no tiers, minimum targets, or caps. You earn 30% for every qualifying transaction, regardless of volume.

Note: Your commission is calculated on the net invoice value after applying any discounts, coupons, or promotional offers. For example, if a user purchases a plan worth USD 400, you earn USD 120. If a discount reduces the final invoice to USD 200, your commission becomes USD 60. Payouts are available in USD, GBP, and EUR, based on your preferred currency.

What counts as an approved conversion

Once a referred user signs up using your unique referral link, we track the referral in your affiliate dashboard. We’ll schedule your 30% commission payout once:

  • The user signs up using your referral link and upgrades to a CookieYes Premium plan (Basic, Pro, or Ultimate) during or after the 14-day trial.
  • The payment gateway and the CookieYes team have successfully processed and verified the subscription payment.
  • The user doesn’t request a refund within 15 days of payment, clearing the refund window.

Note: Only the first website purchased using the referral link will be tracked for commission eligibility. Additional websites linked to the same user account are not covered under the affiliate program.

We mark the referral as approved once we successfully process the subscription payment. If the user later requests a refund, we adjust the corresponding commission amount from your future payouts in accordance with our policy.

Payout Schedule

CookieYes follows a transparent payout process to ensure timely commission payments for all affiliate partners.

Once your referred user meets the eligibility conditions, we’ll approve your 30% commission visible in your affiliate dashboard.

Payout Timing: All confirmed commissions are processed on the 15th of the following month, provided your total approved commission balance has reached the minimum payout threshold of $100 / £100 / €100. If the balance is below the minimum threshold, the amount will roll over to the next month.

Payout Method: You can select from available payout methods, such as PayPal or Bank Transfer, in your affiliate profile. Ensure your payout details are up to date to avoid any delays.

Note: When a referred user signs up for CookieYes on July 15 and purchases a plan within or after the 14-day free trial, say on July 20, your 30% commission will be marked as approved once the user completes their 15-day refund window. If your total approved commission balance for July reaches $100 or more, the payout will be processed on August 15. Depending on your selected payment method, it may take a few business days for the funds to reflect in your account.

In the unlikely event that a user requests a refund after we process your payout, we adjust your future payouts accordingly, following our standard policy.

User Onboarding & Trial Activation (Done by the Referee)

When a user clicks on your unique referral link, they land on the CookieYes website, where they can sign up and activate a 14-day free trial of any of the CookieYes premium plans – Basic, Pro, or Ultimate.

We track and record this in your Affiliate Dashboard, so you can monitor the user’s activity in real time. We confirm your commission only after the user upgrades to a paid subscription following their 14-day free trial.

Note: The CookieYes Affiliate Program includes a 30-day referral window. Tracking begins from the user’s first click on your affiliate link and remains valid for 30 days. For successful referral attribution, the user must complete the sign-up within this period using the same device and browser from which the initial click was made.

Subscription to CookieYes premium plan (Done by the Referee)

After signing up using your referral link, the referred user upgrades to one of the CookieYes premium plans (Basic, Pro, or Ultimate) at any time during or after their 14-day free trial.

Once we successfully process the payment, we will mark your 30% commission as approved, and it will appear in your affiliate dashboard.

Conversion & Payout (Done by CookieYes)

If your total approved commission balance reaches the minimum payout threshold (USD 100 / GBP 100 / EUR 100), the payout will be processed on the 15th of the following month. After processing, we credit the payout to your account by the end of that month at the latest.

If a user cancels their subscription during the refund period, we adjust the corresponding commission amount from your future payouts in line with our policy.

Note: See the payout schedule section above for exact dates, methods, and refund adjustment rules!
