Personally, I do not see what Daizzy is doing as being wrong - ie placing one cookie for the respective program on the corresponding page of his own site. If you don't visit that page AND join the program, then you are unaffected.

To me, the question becomes more about why some would take issue with it. Are you using his resource but intentionally not using his links so he receives no benefit for the work he has done? That's fucked up - and no doubt the reason why he does it in the first place.

There appears to be some webmaster mentality at work here, to take whatever you can from other webmasters, but give absolutely nothing back, even if it doesn't cost you anything personally.
