Web browser setup

Important browser information

There are a few things that must be configured in your browser to make crediting most efficient.

• The browser must be the default browser
• Third-party cookies must be fully accepted
• Pop-up blockers must be turned off

It's also best to delete or disable any browser toolbars, add-ons, or extensions that are installed because they might cause issues with offers crediting properly.

If you really don't feel like going through all the trouble of removing toolbars, add-ons, or extensions then switch to a browser that you don't use on a daily basis. It is recommended to choose one of the browsers from above. Just be sure to set it to your default browser.

Which browser should I use?

As long as the browser you're using is set up properly (read specific browser configurations), then it should be fine to use.
