## Enhanced Conversions for Affiliate Marketers

Enhanced Conversions require customer data that most affiliate networks don't provide. If your network sends this data, AnyTrack forwards it to Google Ads for Enhanced Conversions activation. However, this is uncommon in affiliate marketing. Disable Enhanced Conversions if this data is unavailable.
