I have been looking at quite a few sponsors lately and was wondering why they overwrite cookies. For example, if I send a user to their (the sponsors) site and the user doesn't make a purchase straight away but then visits another affiliates site and visits the sponsors site again (on the same day) and makes a purchase; the second affiliate gets the credit.

I have not checked but do they at least lock cookies if the user types the url into their browser at a later date or do they claim this as a type in sale?

Curious ....
