CookieYes Affiliate Program (Tapfiliate)
Last updated on June 15, 2026
On this page
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.
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.

Commission Structure
The CookieYes Affiliate Program offers a straightforward, high-reward commission model for every successful referral.
What You Earn
- Earn 30% recurring commission for up to 3 years on every successful conversion generated via your unique referral link.
There are no tiers, minimum targets, or caps. You earn 30% recurring commission for up to 3 years for every qualifying transaction, regardless of volume.
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).
- 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.
Only the first CookieYes license purchased under an account 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.
When a referred user signs up for CookieYes on July 15 and purchases a plan, 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 a minimum threshold of $100 / £100 / €100, 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.
How The Process Works
This section explains each stage of the CookieYes Affiliate Program in detail. We will guide you from signing up to earning your commission, ensuring clarity, transparency, and ease throughout your referral journey.

Affiliate Program Workflow
Your journey as a CookieYes Affiliate Partner begins by signing up for our affiliate program. To sign up, follow the steps given below:
Sign up for your account
1. Visit the CookieYes Affiliate Signup page here and click Start earning now to begin your application.

2. Provide your basic information, including your Full name, Business email address, Company/Channel/Brand name and Website/Profile link/Channel link and click Proceed to verification.

Make sure to complete every field in the form, as incomplete applications will be rejected.
3. Enter the verification code sent to your email address, then click Verify & continue to proceed.

4. Complete your profile:
- Select the category that best describes your work from the available options and click Confirm selection.
- Choose the location of your primary audience and select your preferred platforms, then click Confirm selection.
- Pick your preferred payout method — PayPal, Bank Transfer (EU/SEPA) or Bank Transfer (International).
- Review and agree to the terms and conditions, then click Submit application to complete your signup.

Once your application is submitted, your approval status will appear on the screen — hang tight, as this may take up to 5 minutes. Feel free to browse other tabs, but make sure to keep this screen open. There are two possible statuses:
- Approved — You will be granted immediate access to the affiliate dashboard. Click Go to Affiliate dashboard to proceed.

- Application under review — Your application is being reviewed and may take 1–2 business days. You will be notified of your status once the review is complete.

Tip: Please ensure all fields are completed accurately, as incomplete applications will be flagged for manual review and may result in rejection. Also, double-check that the account details you provide are correct, since all your commissions will be processed to this account.
Once your profile is verified, you will receive an email confirming your approval as a CookieYes Affiliate Partner. The email contains your unique referral link for the affiliate program.

You can now share this unique referral link on your marketing platforms and even with potential clients (Firms that you think would require a cookie consent solution). You can also create a short link by following these steps:
- Navigate to your CookieYes Affiliate Program portal Dashboard by clicking here.
- Click the Copy option to copy your unique referral link.
- Enable “Create short link” to generate a clean, shareable URL optimised for social media and easier to distribute.

Pro Tip: To maximise reach, distribute your affiliate link via social media, email campaigns, or blog content. The more visibility your link gets, the more chances you have to earn. Every successful sign-up brings you a 30% recurring commission for up to 3 years, no questions asked! For additional tips or personalised guidance, feel free to email us at [email protected].
User Onboarding
When a user clicks on your unique referral link, they land on the CookieYes website, where they can sign up and purchase any of the CookieYes premium plans – Basic, Pro, or Ultimate, with an exclusive partner discount applied automatically at checkout.
We track and record this in your Affiliate Dashboard, so you can monitor the user’s activity in real time. We confirm your commission once the user has completed their purchase. Please note that all purchases come with a 15-day refund window, so commissions will be finalised after this period.
The CookieYes Affiliate Program includes a 60-day referral window. Tracking begins from the user’s first click on your affiliate link and remains valid for 60 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 purchases one of the CookieYes premium plans (Basic, Pro, or Ultimate).
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 ($100 / £100 / €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!
