Please note that affiliates have the ability to deep link to your website. Therefore for accurate tracking and happy affiliates the collection of the clickSessionID should be site wide.

• clickSource - Aflite clicks will always have the value 'aflite'. A test for this variable should tell you whether to initiate the storage of the clickSessionID.
• clickSessionID - This is the unique identity number of the click. You will need to store this for use in the API.
