The daily cashback browser extension
What is the real cost of your purchase?
Most cashback extensions only show you a percentage. The daily cashback extension calculates exactly what remains after your purchase: shop price minus voucher minus cashback. This allows you to see your effective price before you pay.
The extension is free and available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox.
The cashback calculator: an example
The calculator always starts with 100 in your local currency and automatically includes the best voucher we have for that shop in the calculation. You can change the amount, voucher, and category (e.g., new customer) if the shop has multiple rates.
- Shop price: €100.00
- 15% voucher: -€15.00, you pay €85.00 at checkout
- 5% cashback on €85: -€4.25
- Effective price: €80.75, you save €19.25
We calculate cashback based on the price after the voucher, just as shops do. All amounts are estimates: credit is issued once the shop confirms the purchase. Calculations are performed locally in your browser; you do not need to be signed in to use the calculator.
How the extension works
Once a day, the extension downloads our list of partner shops with their domains and cashback rates. When you visit a website, it compares the site's name against this list directly on your computer. If it is a partner shop, a small card appears in the top right corner showing the cashback for your country and the calculator. Nothing happens on any other site, neither visibly nor in the background.
Only when you click Activate cashback does the shop open in the same tab via our partner link. Afterward, the card shows the vouchers with a code and a button to copy it. Before activation, the code remains hidden to ensure your cashback is not lost. The extension does not enter any codes, change any links on the page, or set any cookies.
We only display vouchers relevant to your country. Codes that are clearly for another country or currency are hidden.
Partner links, honestly
If you make a purchase after clicking Activate cashback, the shop pays us a commission. We credit a portion of this to you as cashback; your price remains the same. The button only appears if the shop actually offers cashback in your country and the partner program allows extensions. For all other shops, you will only see a note and a link to the shop page on daily-cashback.info.
To receive your cashback, please sign in to the extension with your free account. The card and calculator work without signing in, but the cashback cannot be assigned to an account in that case.
When the extension stays quiet
If another partner has sent you to the shop, the extension stays quiet for that shop: no card appears, and the icon turns grey. If you click the icon yourself, you will only see a note stating that you arrived via another cashback or voucher site, with no button to activate and no vouchers. This applies for at least 90 minutes to ensure no other partner click is overwritten.
Technically, the extension detects this from the redirect used to open the shop page. It only reads along and blocks nothing. It stays quiet if any of the following apply and the click did not originate from our own button:
- The address of the shop page contains a partner parameter, for example afsrc=1, awc, cjevent, irclickid, clickref, sscid, ranMID, ranSiteID, utm_medium=affiliate, tduid, partnerid.
- The redirect went through the domain of an affiliate network, for example awin1.com, zenaps.com, anrdoezrs.net, dpbolvw.net, jdoqocy.com, kqzyfj.com, tkqlhce.com, emjcd.com, sjv.io, pxf.io, ojrq.net, evyy.net, prf.hn, linksynergy.com, shareasale.com, tradedoubler.com.
- The referring page is a known coupon or cashback website.
This rule applies to all users equally and cannot be changed remotely. The lists for this are built into the extension. The daily shop list can only add to them, never shorten or switch them off.
What data we actually receive
The extension only sends data to us when a feature requires it. This is the complete list:
- Shop list: once a day, the country you have set and the extension version number. No identifier, no cookies.
- Vouchers: the name of the shop and your country when you open the vouchers, select a voucher in the calculator, or activate cashback. No identifier.
- Activate cashback: the call to our partner link for this shop, with the country and the page you want to return to. If you are signed in, the link contains your customer ID so we can credit your cashback.
- Delivery question: If you answer whether a shop delivers to your country, the shop, country, and your answer are sent to us. No identifier.
- Account: upon signing in, your email address and password or your Google sign-in, followed by the retrieval of your balance. The sign-in token remains in the extension's storage.
What is not included: the pages you visit, search terms, page content, shopping carts, or prices. There is no usage tracking, no advertising, and no remotely loaded code. The log in the settings remains in your browser. It only leaves your browser if you copy it and send it to us.
You can switch off the card completely or hide individual shops in the settings. More information can be found in our privacy policy.
Install
The extension is available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. You install it directly from the respective store.
Frequently asked questions
Does the extension cost anything?
No. The extension and the account at daily-cashback.info are free. We earn from the shop's commission, a portion of which you receive as cashback.
Does my purchase become more expensive?
No. The price in the shop is the same with or without a partner link.
How accurate is the calculator?
It calculates using the cashback rate and vouchers we know for the shop. It accounts for minimum order values and maximum voucher amounts if they are specified in the voucher. The shop decides what you actually receive: some vouchers cannot be combined with cashback, and shipping, taxes, or returns often do not count.
Do I have to sign in?
Not for the card and calculator. To have the cashback credited to you, you need an account and must be signed in to the extension before you click Activate cashback.
Does the extension track what I do on the internet?
No. The comparison with the shop list happens on your device. We do not learn which pages you visit. Everything we receive is listed in the section above.
Why do I not see an 'Activate cashback' button for some shops?
Either the partner program does not allow extensions, there is no cashback for your country, or you arrived via another partner's link. In those cases, the extension stays quiet.
How is the extension different from Honey, TopCashback or Rakuten?
We put that together in a separate comparison, using only what the providers say on their own help and privacy pages: cashback browser extensions compared.
