Is the new Internet Explorer preventing affiliate tracking cookies?

[Rightz]

I have a website with a lot of affiliate links (text and banner). I've been using the new Internet Explorer on one of my laptops to view my site and reading the privacy report. It seems to block out tracking cookies from some of the affiliate sites - mainly tradedoubler.com

Am I reading this right? Does this mean the only money we'll make from tradedoubler on our site will be from sales made only at the time they click through my site?

(Rather than people going back a week later and it remembering I referred them by way of cookies.)

Anyone?

It may or may not be IE7. A quick search in Google for tradedoubler and cookies reveals that there have been conintual problems in that area.

In today's environment, cookie tracking may not be the best option for affiliate sales.

Is there any other option?

I use:

affiliate window
affiliate future
tradedoubler
buy.at
cj.com (What I waste of time)

Maybe if tradedoubler has problems with this I should try and move from them to another affiliate network?

Affiliate sales is the only way I make money from my current site.

Not sure if you've noticed, but a number of the merchants on TradeDoubler are also on other networks.

I prefer Affiliate Window and WebGains for a number of reasons, not least that their Account Managers are very responsive and they pay fortnightly/weekly respectively.

I just tried a quick test and IE7 accepted several cookies from Tradedoubler via an affiliate site. Of course the specifics of how IE behaves will depend on how high you've dialed up your web security settings.
