Cookies are domain based so the above is true if you refer through a chaturbate.com affiliate link but is it also true if a surfer (unregistered user) is on your whitelabel (different domain), then clicks on a broadcaster's chaturbate.com aff. link?
I think in this case the original affiliate gets screwed because the chaturbate.com cookie has not been written by the original affiliate.
Related question: what about subdomains: whitelabel.chaturbate.com, en.chaturbate.com, m.chaturbate.com, ... etc are they all planting a cookie on the top domain also?
Now, equally concerning, if a registered user on your wl clicks on one of the cb aff. links, why would he keep the same username when moving over to cb.

Permanent until the user changes his username or until is lifetime as a customer regardless of the username he signs up under?

One of the broadcaster that is listed here has a blinking orange signup button overlay covering the original one, are you confirming this is accepted? She was mentioned like wll over a year ago.
Another one listed above has a large image covering your top ad banner, is this not falling in the "covering up site function" category. She also entices existing customers to sign up a new account under her aff. link. You confirm this is permitted?
She must be smiling big time when she reads us crying like babies here but I bet you she'd be smiling less if it was done to her.
I think the general concern is that most of the webmasters here put a lot of efforts (brain, financial, time, ..) into building all sorts of ingenious ways to drive traffic to chaturbate with the idea that the customer-affiliate tie was indeed permanent and we are afraid to lose the financial benefits to some sneaky ways.
