With respect to affiliate tracking - cookie length tells you how many days after the initial click, the merchant will track a sale.
So if the merchant has a 30 day cookie... The customer clicks your link today but does not buy - goes back to merchant directly or through a search engine 29 days later and buys, you still get credit for the sale.
