Donovan: He said the techs went home so I am guessing he cannot answer the questions until they get in tomorrow. But certainly I am interested in the answers nonetheless.
In the interim, I did take the opportunity to ask some sponsors who use it, and/or whom were approached at Internext about it.
Interestingly enough, not one told me they were aware that affiliate's cookies were superseded after the chat window was closed -- after the click here was enacted --, and one never even knew an affiliate's cookies were overwritten at all. Of the ones I asked who were approached at Internext, none were told that IC overwrote any cookies at all (it was not part of the sales pitch at all according to them). Of the ones I spoke with as a whole that knew cookies were used, all of them them assumed the cookie was expired on exit of the chat window.
Granted my data sampling is small (5 programs), but it is certainly indicative to me that program owners are adding this Intellichat without any idea that affiliate cookies are getting hijacked beyond the chat exit (*per Billy's admission earlier in this thread*).
I'd love to hear IC correct me if this is misinformation.
