The only parts that cover the tracking process in the Terms and Conditions are point 3 and 4. And there you won't find how this tracking works. Is it a cookie with an extended lifetime? If yes, as soon as this cookie is deleted, you won't receive commission anymore.

Maybe the accout of the student will get a marker when he signs up. This way you would receive your commission. but as this whole affiliate program is a (cheap) thrid party software, I don't think so.

Normally, affiliate cookies have a certain lifetime. Some only a few days, some weeks, some until they are deleted.

So in order to get a response, we should contact Astrid at Myngle.

You say “This only works if the cookie is set correctly, e.g. cookies are activated on the student's computer. If not, you generate a free lead for Myngle, of course.”

Does this mean that for the owner of an external website to qualify for the commission the student would have to book directly after clicking on the link? If a customer “discovered” Myngle on an external website, followed that link, registered with Myngle, but returned later (directly) to Myngle to make a subsequent booking, perhaps having long-since cleared his cookies, would there be no commission?

1. even if you lose a student on the platform to another teacher you would still get 4.5% commission of everything the student is and will be buying.
2. if the student books lessons with you, you still get 4.5% commission. As mentioned in the post, that would lower your Myngle commission to 13.5% instead of 18%.

This only works if the cookie is set correctly, e.g. cookies are activated on the student's computer. If not, you generate a free lead for Myngle, of course.

You could use the affiliate code in your communication with your student so he signs up over the link and then books a lesson with you.

But as you can see, I am concerned about the general function of the cookie. What is happening, which information will be stored, transmitted, etc?

Why would a TEACHER go to the trouble of attracting students, only to pass them on to somebody else? This doesn't make sense to me.

Surely such an affiliate program would be more interesting for NON-TEACHERS, students or education experts, for example, or indeed anyone who has a blog or a website and feels they would like to support this enterprise (and make a bit of money in the process).

It would definitely be an incentive if there were not those T&Cs. I don't even think that Myngle wrote them.
