Like some have said, the last cookie set wins.. Personally, I think it's crap that the first person that sent the surfer gets credit for the sale even after 100 other webmasters sent that same surfer. If webmaster 1 didn't make the sale the first time, to bad. If webmaster 2 didn't make the sale the first time, to bad. so on and so forth.. The last webmaster to send that surfer should get credit for the sale. With a locked cookie that will kill sales for many webmasters. Maybe no completely, but it should will affect the number of sales in a big way and the ones that end up setting the cookies first will make way more than what they actually worked for.

Take this for example.

2 people work at some company doing the exact same job for the exact same $.

employee 1 gets told to do a ceratin job
employee 2 is asked to help

but, employee 2 starts working on this job 1st while employee 1 starts shortly after. They get the job done and the boss says "Ok, good job! Employee 2, you have earned $****. Employee 1, I'm sorry, you earned $0 since you did not start 1st"

So while the job was originally given to employee 1, employee 2 got all the credit.
