Overview

What does Affilo do?

What Affilo is

Affilo is a affiliate marketing and tracking network. It is an affiliate marketing network that tracks referral clicks and conversions so advertisers can reward publishers. When it runs on a website it operates as a third party processor whose scripts, cookies and network requests are loaded into the browsers of your European visitors.

Data and cookies Affilo collects

In a typical deployment Affilo processes click and conversion identifiers, referral data, device fingerprints and cross site behavioural signals. Most of this information qualifies as personal data under the GDPR because it can be linked to an identifiable person, directly or through online identifiers stored on the device.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Any storage of or access to information on a visitor device is governed by Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, transposed into national law across the EU. The GDPR then governs the subsequent processing, so Affilo must have a valid legal basis, a clear retention period and transparent information for the data subject.

Consent requirements

Because Affilo sets cookies or identifiers that are not strictly necessary to deliver a service the visitor explicitly requested, prior, freely given, specific and informed consent is required before it loads. Scripts must stay blocked until the visitor accepts, and refusal must be as easy as acceptance.

International data transfers

Affilo operates affiliate tracking across multiple regions and may process identifiers on servers outside the European Economic Area. Transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area need an appropriate safeguard such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, together with a transfer impact assessment where required.

Practical compliance steps

List Affilo in your records of processing and your cookie policy, load it only through a consent management platform, document the consent you collect and review the vendor data processing agreement at least once a year. Test the site with consent refused to make sure no identifier is set before a choice is made.

Compliance

Affilo and the GDPR

Affilo is classified as “Marketing”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy.

Legal basis
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) together with Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive for non essential cookies
Risk level
high
Applicable regulations
GDPR; ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC; national rules (TTDSG, CNIL guidelines, LSSI)

Impact assessment (DPIA)

Assess the volume and sensitivity of data processed through Affilo, whether visitors are profiled or tracked across sites, and any transfer outside the EEA. A formal DPIA is advisable where Affilo enables large scale monitoring or combines data from several sources.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Affilo

Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.

What cookies does Affilo set?

Affilo typically stores session identifiers and, depending on configuration, analytics or marketing cookies. The exact names and lifetimes appear in the cookie table on this page, and you should scan your own site because deployments differ.

Do I need consent to use Affilo?

Yes. Affilo sets cookies or identifiers that are not strictly necessary, so under Article 5(3) ePrivacy you must obtain prior consent before it loads.

What is the legal basis for Affilo?

The non essential cookies rely on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR combined with Article 5(3) ePrivacy. Strictly necessary processing can rely on contract under Article 6(1)(b) or legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f).

Does Affilo transfer data to the United States or other third countries?

Affilo operates affiliate tracking across multiple regions and may process identifiers on servers outside the European Economic Area. Any such transfer needs Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision and a transfer impact assessment.

Do I need a DPIA for Affilo?

A DPIA is required when processing is likely to result in a high risk, for example large scale tracking or profiling. Where Affilo monitors behaviour at scale or combines data sources, run a DPIA before going live.

How do I implement Affilo in a compliant way?

Load Affilo only after consent through a consent management platform, keep it blocked by default, document each consent, list it in your records and cookie policy, and sign a data processing agreement with the vendor.

Are there alternatives to Affilo?

Yes. Depending on your goal you can choose privacy first or cookieless tools, or self hosted options that keep data in the EEA. Whichever you pick, the same consent and transparency duties apply.

How do I update my cookie policy for Affilo?

Add Affilo to the cookie policy with its purpose, the cookies it sets, their duration and the recipient, note any third country transfer and the safeguard used, and refresh the entry whenever you change configuration or after a new cookie scan.
