Hi Tony

It rewrites the cookie based on IP recognition then i guess?

But if the visitor came on the merchant's site through another path? Through another affiliate?

Example Scenario 1:

Visitors lands on aff site A and is redirected to the merchant, does not buy anything.

Cleans out their computer with some sort of anti spyware solution and the cookie is gone.

Visitor starts researching again on Google for the same product and lands on the merchant's site via affiliate's site B that the visitor found.

Aff A get's nothing in this scenario right?

Scenario 2:

Visitor is looking for product A and lands on aff site A and is redirected to the merchant.
Visitor goes back to Google to research some more, this time another type of product and ends up at aff site B through the SERP's.

Visitor is redirected to the merchant and as you say the cookie can't be overwritten it means aff B does not get the commission but aff A does get the commission?

How would this work
