Hey Mike, thanks for the share on the Quantcast Choice tool. Definitely a worthwhile one for affiliates to check into if other tools aren’t meeting their needs.

Hey Phil- thanks for the heads up, didn’t see an email that the comment had come through. That has been approved. Any additional insight is appreciated, so thanks for sharing.

AvantLink doesn’t set cookies on your website- it’s only when/if someone clicks on your ads (regardless of implementation type) that a cookie is set when they visit the merchant’s website your ad redirects to.

No big drama. I left some comments last night that other affiliates might find useful, since the tools you reference are pretty so so when you get into the weeds of GDPR implementation. Can you approve them?

Hi Philip. For specific questions related to interpretation on how GDPR impacts your involvement not just as an affiliate but a website operator as a whole, we highly recommend consulting your own legal advisors. We don’t have in-house legal council that is able to get on the phone and advise affiliates. If you have any technical questions regarding the implementation of one of the tools we listed please contact the tool providers.

Thanks for pointing them out. Who is the best person at Avantlink to speak with (by phone) about interpreting these and implementing them. I don’t think a comment form is going to be high enough bandwidth.Thanks.

Hey Philip. The terms are permanently available here: https://www.avantlink.com/terms (that has also been updated in the blog content, thanks for pointing that out).

See the Affiliate Cookies and Data Protection section near the bottom of the terms. GDPR isn’t called out specifically as we are, for better or for worse, anticipating that other markets will enact similiar legislation at some point.

Can you post a link to the updated Affiliate Terms and Conditions? I checked but could not see any mention of new Avantlink-specific GDPR requirements or implementation timeframes above and beyond GDPR’s 88 page legal text.
