Overview
Brandbassador is a brand ambassador and influencer marketing platform that manages referral programs where ambassadors promote products in exchange for commissions and rewards. Its scripts track referral link clicks and ambassador-driven conversions on merchant websites, attributing purchases to specific ambassadors for commission calculation and campaign performance measurement.
What This Script Does
Brandbassador's tracking scripts perform:
- Referral attribution cookies: When a visitor arrives via a brand ambassador's referral link, the script sets first-party cookies storing the ambassador ID, campaign parameters, and click timestamp. Cookies typically persist for 30-90 days for attribution.
- Conversion tracking: Monitors purchase and signup events on the merchant's site, matching them against stored referral cookies to attribute conversions to specific ambassadors.
- Data transmission: Transaction details (order value, product SKUs, ambassador ID) are sent to Brandbassador's servers for commission calculation and program analytics.
- Ambassador widgets: May render referral program interfaces (share links, reward dashboards) for identified ambassadors visiting the merchant's site.
- No general visitor tracking: Beyond the referral attribution cookies, Brandbassador does not track general visitor browsing behavior.
