This chart is from 2009!

With the popularity of "private browsing" and ad blockers if that chart was today it would certainly show a greater loss.

At XloveCam.com we encourage all new visitors to register as free members -- that would preserve the affiliate's or the site's "ownership" of that Member's rev-share allocation.

We are discussing other measures in first party "tracking" to replace a lot of cookie functions as well as for Member account identification.

That being said, I still foresee cookies in the future exclusively to be used for website personalization -- their original intent.
