Is link cloaking allowed by affiliate networks?

Most major networks permit cloaking as long as tracking parameters pass through cleanly and the final destination matches the affiliate offer. The Affiliate Link Cloaker preserves every query parameter by default so commission tracking continues to work. Amazon Associates, ShareASale, and Impact all allow branded short links. Check specific program terms before a large campaign.

What redirect type should I use?

Apache .htaccess works on almost every shared host. nginx rewrite blocks fit VPS, containers, and most modern hosting stacks. JavaScript redirects run client-side with no server config, useful on static sites or when server access is limited. For SEO value, 301 server redirects beat JavaScript redirects because search engines pass authority through them.

Will cloaked links still pass affiliate tracking and commission attribution?

Yes. The generated redirect uses a 301 or 302 and keeps the full query string intact, so the affiliate cookie is still dropped at the destination. If the network uses a pixel or postback instead of a cookie, the same passthrough works because the final URL is unchanged from the user's perspective.

Are my URLs stored or shared?

No. Affiliate Link Cloaker generates everything in the browser. The long URL, the short path, and the redirect snippet never touch a server.
