word, this can be done with just about any affiliate tracking software out there, it's not CCBills problem, its the shady programs who choose to use it.

Bottom line, if you don't trust your sponsor don't use them.

One more point, as far as I know, the ccbill tracking works with cookies or IP stamps if cookies aren't allowed. Most programs out there use some sort of combination of session/cookie tracking. I think its a blessing that they allow us to override the cookie with a session/form variable to ensure that the affiliate gets credit regarless of IPs or cookies, i sure hope they don't change this.

it's the reason the nubiles links look like:

so in turn, this option is benefiting you for programs who choose to use it by crediting you sales that might not get credited by the cookie / ip tracking.
