Straight from the Horses mouth:
How does Commission Junction track transactions on the Web?
Commission Junction uses cookies to track advertiser sales and leads. Cookies are used in two stages of tracking: at ad load and when the ad is clicked. The function of these cookies is solely for the purpose of paying publishers (Web site owners) commissions when a consumer creates a lead or makes a purchase.
What about customers who have their cookies turned off? Over 99% of all Internet users have cookies enabled in their browsers (less than 1% of all users have their cookies disabled). The fact is that cookie-based technology is a reality that will remain a part of consumer tracking for individual Internet businesses. In the highly unlikely situation that a customer has cookies disabled, the customer is out of the range of publisher tracking and sales that occur cannot be tracked.<br><br>
Really - 99% huh?
CJ cookies are routinely blocked by many packages by default - including internet explorer. How dumb does one have to be to believe that cookies are only being blocked 1% of the time?
Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Edit
Look at the cookies that are set to ALWAYS be blocked by default to Microsoft. Huh ... interesting.

Is this IE7?
I've got IE6 and have no such "Edit" in my Tools>Privacy.
I am nowhere near being an expert on this, but my GUESS would be that the problem lies more with stuff like Norton Anti-Virus and such, which does ship with their programmers ideas of what is bad for you already decided.
Edit is a button on the bottom right not a "tab". And I might need to correct my post a bit after being advised by another member that sometimes these lists are populated with software like spybot search and destroy.

The cookie concerns are moot because even if only 5%, instead of 99%, have cookies enabled so long as revenue received exceeds expenses by an amount sufficient to make a living - who cares? _________________ Jason Canon
