Is this ClickBank Aff Cloaker Legit?

Does anyone have any feedback on the Sneaky Cloaker Script

I have come across the 'Sneaky Cloaker Script' which is great for cloaking ClickBank affiliate links as well as being able to direct your aff link to any of the vendor's pages, eg direct to the checkout page or any other page, and therefore avoiding squeeze pages etc..

The cloaked code is generated on the 'Sneaky Cloaker Script' site which you then have to copy & paste and upload - the service is totally free as well.

All has been OK up till now, however, when earlier I checked one of my links all the way to the checkout page and to my horror I saw that 'affiliate = none'.
A little while ago, though the situation was back to normal, ie 'affiliate = myaffID'

The 'affiliate = none' situation was on all vendors' cloaked links that I had used this script.

So I was wondering whether anyone knows whether this aff link cloaking service can be relied upon or whether anyone knows of any free alternatives.

Using the <?php
header ("Location: [affID.CBvendor.hop.clickbank.net");...]
?> redirect/cloaker is fine except it offers no versatility in terms of which page you want to send your site visitor to.

Also does link cloaking transgress any of Google's Adsense TOS or harm search engine rankings in any way?

Thanks in advance

Make sure you enter your affiliate id and the vendor id in their respective fields of the form. That is likely what would cause the problem.

Also, it may be the case that your browser was blocking 3rd party cookies. Sneaky cloaker now bypasses third party cookie blocking in IE and probably other browsers as well.
