Jordbarn uses the ShoutOut affiliate tracking system. When a referral clicks through your affiliate link, ShoutOut sets a cookie in the browser that contains your tracking code. ShoutOut also tracks other information, such as the IP address of the referral, in its database along with your tracking code. When the referral decides to buy a product at Jordbarn, a script will look for the cookie, or try to match the IP address, to identify you and award the commission. Referrals from your affiliate link may make a purchase later in time and Jordbarn will still award the commission if the cookie is still present in the browser, or the IP address still matches one logged in the database.
Jordbarn reserves the right to refuse service to any referral.
