Term explanations

• Attribution Link Parameters:
  Adding different c-parameters to different links allows you to breakdown performance along criteria of your choice in AppsFlyer reports. Please check with your Appier Account Manager if you have any questions.

• Click look-back window:
  A look-back window is the period of time after an ad is clicked or viewed within which an install can be attributed, or matched, to the ad. Advertisers and attribution providers use lookback windows to determine if a specific click or view led to a user’s decision to download an app.
