I know NastyDollars &/or OxCash used to do the 30 day cookie on all visits to the paysites.

Unfortunately in these cases, less surfers these days are supporting cookies, so this entire process has a smaller chance than ever, anyway.
Just some clearing up here... NATS does reset the cookie on each hit to track. NATS v2 also has an IP Log in case cookies are not used by the surfer, and that one gets updated too.
