Obviously you can't hide the stuff from the sponsor like many of the shady stuffs that go on, or stuff offsite, but stuffing on your own pages in a legitimate and approved way so that the sponsor can see where the cookies are being dropped still.

They have nothing to gain from people stuffing cookies all over the wbe wherever they see fit with a blanked referrer, but if you present your case well and stick to your course legitimately what do they really have to lose either?
