How does p2s know if you completed offers like surveys and stuff. Does it use cookies or something. How is it actually done?

But if you claim the offer all cookies are delivered already to the advertiser and they can check it so no matter if you cleared cookies as long as its after they will receive it.

If it doesnt approve within the average approval time it just means you wont get credit from the advertiser as you didnt complete it to their quality standards. Keeping your cookies and not deleting them if they are pending for a long time wont change anything sadly "/ ” Ah, that actually explains a lotCheers, my curiosity has finally been answered too, hehe connorconway Welcome connor lol hopefully youll be able to use the shout again soon its weird not seeing you on

They have been pending for about 2 hours. The approval rate and time were both marked as medium. Should I not clear cookies, because they are pending, and I more than likely should get credit for them, since I know for sure that I completed the survey. Or does it not matter because I already claimed them????
