This seems like a clever way to skim affiliates. Under such a setup you may as well not even have cookies.
It depends on the browser settings. I don't know about zombaio but some use epoch for cascade.

I think rejected ccbill signup -> redirect to alternative sponsor , is greater "skim" than the one you mention.

But it's one of the things to look for. Always check the sites before promoting and do checks later if sales decrease.
