Yes Paul it does.
As Kellie from
www.affiliatefairplay.com explained in one of her posts, the software itself does not change or alter the cookie. BUT... it facilitates or makes possible the forced click which means that just the ad popping up automatically replaces the original cookie with the spyware affiliate cookie.
I've seen videos of this from Ben Edelman (
www.benedelman.org) and Kellie. If you want to know how it's really done, they would be able to answer those questions better than I ever could since they do testing on a daily basis and I don't.
If you even look further on Ben's site, somewhere it says (or it used to, no idea where it is on his site) that with 180Solutions (I'm pretty sure that's who it is) you don't even need to get a popup to replace a cookie. Not only is it silent, but it can also be invisible to the surfer.
