Commission Cloak

About

Commission Cloak is a browser extension that lifts the veil on affiliate marketing, revealing exactly who stands to earn a commission from your online purchases. In a $20 billion industry built on "last-click" attributions, this tool brings much-needed transparency to consumers.

Why We Built This
Recent whistleblowing exposed how platforms are secretly hijacking affiliate commissions at checkout. These services insert themselves as the "last click" before purchase, redirecting commissions away from content creators and into corporate pockets—all without consumers knowing.
Unlike price comparison tools that profit from your purchase data, Commission Cloak simply provides visibility into who is getting credited for your purchases.

Features
•	Real-time Affiliate Detection: Instantly spots affiliate signals while you browse
•	Creator Attribution: Identifies the creator or publication that referred you
•	Historical Tracking: Keeps a 90-day record of affiliate partners for each merchant
•	Affiliate Switching: Easily select from your previous sources to validate the last-click affiliate before checkout   

Why Should You Care?
When you watch a YouTube tutorial, read a blog review, or click a link from your favorite newsletter, those creators have earned your trust and guided your purchase decision. Too often, their rightful rewards are silently redirected elsewhere.
For many content creators—especially small, independent ones—affiliate marketing isn't just a side hustle; it's their livelihood. Affiliate marketing is intended to be linear and straightforward, and consumers have been conspicuously missing from the equation. Without question, a department store salesperson earns their cut by helping you find the perfect item. Online creators deserve similar accountability for their recommendations. 

Commission Cloak helps ensure your purchase supports the creators who genuinely provide value, taking the guesswork out of affiliate attribution.
This has no impact on product price—it's about principle. If you could confirm who gets rewarded on your sale—the creator you follow, or an unrelated third party—wouldn’t you want to know? When you’re choosing where to shop, why not consider the shop where you know a creator will benefit?

How It Works
1.	Detection: Commission Cloak monitors for known affiliate platforms, redirect domains, URL parameters, cookies, local storage, and session storage
2.	Attribution: Affiliate sources are parsed into recognizable data 
3.	Transparency: See exactly who's in line for the commission (including platforms with subversive attribution tactics)
4.	Validation: Ensure your purchase supports the creators that you love

Consumers are increasingly conscious about where their dollars go, and Commission Cloak puts you in control of your purchasing influence. It's time to bring fairness back to affiliate marketing, and allow you to be an active participant in this process.
Stop the hijackers. Support the creators. Know who’s behind your sale.
