I'm not involved in anything that would be a victim of "Cookie Stuffing", so I don't know how any of these schemes use Cookies. As a result I can't follow pretty much anything you're talking about, because I don't know what the mechanisms are that are being perverted.<p>So, although I'm interested, and am probably in one of the target audiences for your post, I'm completely at sea as to what you're talking about.<p>A clear explanation of how affiliate schemes or whatever use cookies in the first place would be a great start. As it is, I have no comment, because I got nothing out of what you wrote, even though I read it carefully.

Modernnomad84 accused me of cookie stuffing and is currently in big trouble. The major affiliate program he made reference to has apologised to me for reacting to his false statement and he took down his post after I suggested he do so immediately. I don't think he is very clever. The post explaining his wrong doing is here <a href="http://thesisthemehq.com/summary-innocent-thesis-theme-affiliate-still-waiting-for-public-apologies-reinstatement-to-the-thesis-theme-forum-affiliate-program/" rel="nofollow">http://thesisthemehq.com/summary-innocent-thesis-theme-affil...</a> Please feel free to comment Cheers, falsely accused.

Thanks guys and please let me know your thoughts on cookie stuffing. It's a pretty contentious subject.
