   3. Notify your Partners that they can take the new tracking links from the Ad Media management in the Partner UI.

After you successfully enabled enable first-party tracking, we will keep the Advertiser’s old tracking links working. To ensure correct attribution between events of the new and old tracking domain, we will enable a cross-domain tracking mode, which will match events arriving at the old tracking domain to events of the new tracking domain so that there is a smooth transition. This will be enabled for a time period of 30 days, or longer if your Partners need more time to exchange tracking links. After that period we will disable the old tracking links.

• Will my existing tracking links that contain the previous tracking domain continue to work?
  Yes. Existing tracking links of your Advertiser will be supported as long as Partners have built them in.
  Existing tracking links of your other Advertisers that use the previous tracking domain are not affected and will continue to work.

• Will clicks or views that have been tracked over the old domain be attributed correctly if the conversion arrives at the new domain?
  Yes. For the phase of migration, we will enable a cross-domain mode, which will match all user interactions that are received on the old domain with user interactions on the new domain.

• What is the cost for of enabling first-party tracking?
  Using first-party tracking requires an SSL certificate. You will pay us a fixed cost per domain per year so that Ingenious can purchase and renew manage your certificate. The price is denoted in the contract that you have with Ingenious. You will be billed according to the default billing process.

• Do advertiser have to bring their own SSL certificate?
  No. In most cases, the Advertiser has no existing SSL certificate that is sufficient for the new tracking domain. Therefore, our service includes to purchase and renew necessary certificates.
