: Cookie manager PHP I own a Joomla commerce store and although I use Google Analytics in order to track visitors, I need to install a cookie manager in order to be able to track cookies that

@Steve110

I didnt install another 3rd party component in order to avoid extra "weight" on existing site, what i did was to create a few php lines in the head of the template where i was checking if current page had a parameter in the url similar to affiliate network has when drivers visitors from their network to my site. If page was same i was created a cookie with same life-time as affiliates.
Finally on every order that is punctuated in the site, i am checking my cookie is exists on that customer, if so that user should be from affiliate.

Its not ideal but its worked for me & i avoided any 3rd party component.

There are many components within the Joomla extension libaary which should be able to help, here is a couple as an example:


WizAffiliates
VM Affiliate - Requires Virtuemark


For even more check out Joomla extensions library for Affiliates

If you can't find something suitable then sadly your need to make your own or have someone do it for you.
