S2S Postback (Server-to-Server Tracking)

Quick Definition

Server-to-Server (S2S) Postback URL tracking is the industry standard for 100% privacy-compliant, cookieless performance attribution. When a user clicks a campaign link, a unique click ID (transaction ID) is generated and stored. Upon conversion, the advertiser's backend server triggers a webhook/HTTP request back to the network server containing the original click ID.

S2S postbacks bypass browser cookie blockers, Safari ITP, and ad-blocking extensions completely, ensuring 100% attribution accuracy.
