Third-Party Cookies
When you click an affiliate link on LootBazaar, you are redirected through Cuelinks' tracking system, which sets a tracking cookie on your device. This cookie:
- Identifies which publisher's link you clicked
- Remains active for 30 days
- Enables the publisher to receive commission if you buy within 30 days
- Does not collect any personal identification information
This is standard practice for all affiliate marketing platforms. The tracking is required for the affiliate commission system to function correctly.
Managing Cookies

- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies
Note: Disabling essential cookies (authentication) will prevent you from logging into your publisher account. Disabling affiliate tracking cookies will prevent publishers from earning commissions when you purchase.
