Cookie & referral attribution disclosure
Draft product disclosure — legal/privacy review required before paid launch.
Referral acquisition uses a first-party, signed referral-touch cookie and server-side referral records. The cookie does not contain a creator payout amount or payment-card data.
Current v6 attribution and conversion rules
For the current creator-referral v6 program, a valid referral touch can be used for up to 30 days before signup. Attribution is fixed at signup, and the first valid creator referral wins; later creator visits do not replace that signup attribution. The viewer's first actually successful paid Viewer payment must then occur within 90 days after signup to become a qualified creator referral conversion.
A successful payment after the 90-day conversion deadline can still make the viewer an ever-paid billing user, but it is not a v6 creator referral conversion and does not open creator commission eligibility.
Commission scope
A qualified v6 conversion can pay 25% of Eligible Net. Monthly-first referrals are limited to no more than 12 actually paid monthly service periods and no more than 365 days from the qualified first paid payment; unpaid months do not create catch-up commission. If the qualifying first payment is annual, only that first annual payment is commissionable, annual renewal is not, and a refund reverses the related commission without creating a fresh referral eligibility window.
Historical policies
EXISTING_FREE_FIRST_PAID may appear in historical referral records created under older policies. It is not a new v6 attribution path: v6 attribution is created at signup for a net-new account.
Why attribution exists
Referral attribution is used to determine whether a creator may earn acquisition commission from an eligible paid Viewer subscription. It does not increase the viewer's subscription price and does not buy ranking in the Feed.
