Every lead arrives with its campaign: a real submission, with the first and last touch filled in.
A form submission tells you someone is interested. It does not tell you which
ad, email or search brought them, and by the time they get in touch the referrer
is long gone.
Ghizo Attribution Tracker records how every visitor found your site, keeps it
across visits, and attaches it to the form they submit and the order they place.
Each lead arrives with its campaign on it: where they first found you, and what
finally made them get in touch.
Add the tracking to your forms the way each form plugin already works, and the
values fill themselves in.

cached: one visitor’s campaign ends up served to the next. Ghizo Attribution
Tracker captures everything in the visitor’s own browser and keeps it in a first
party cookie, so WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare or any other cache can serve
the same page to everybody and the attribution still arrives.
People rarely convert on their first visit. They click an ad, leave, and come
back weeks later through an email or a search. Attribution is kept for 90 days by
default and can be set to anything up to 730, and the window restarts on every new
campaign visit.
Safari and every browser on iPhone delete a cookie set by JavaScript after seven
days. This plugin also sets the cookie from the server, which those browsers do
not cut short, so the window you choose is the window you get.
