Using Amazon associates I advertise a link. How do I get a parameter back after a sale has been made? (cid)

I want to redirect to a url after the conversion, or to shoot a parameter back to my site, so I can see which clicks converted. How do I do that? I look everywhere in Amazon's Associate (affiliate) program, but couldn't find anything. Can I do this there?

Or perhaps I need to use Amazon's Product Advertising API? I couldn't find anything about that there, only about displaying products, not about what happens after the sale. I have to be able to record this. I found the vacuum gem for Rails, but it is not in the examples.

Any ideas how to do this?

This is not possible.

Additional tracking can be done by the additional associate IDs manually created in your Amazon account. But there is no postback available for their servers.
