Windows SP2 killing affiliate cookie tracking?

[eyeinthesky]

Not seen this discussed here so thought I'd bring it up.

I've just found out that some of my website visitors bought products through links on my website but I don't get credit for them.

Has not happened before so I'm suspicious SP2 might be the culprit (as was discussed in another forum). Not very sure though.

Anyone with similar experiences? Care to share?

I have done several test orders since installing SP2 and have not had any problems.

Does your aff merchant use only cookie tracking? If he uses IP tracking, then the order will still be tracked.

I'm concerned that for merchants that use only cookies, our aff comm may be lost. Of course, I'm assuming that SP2 blocks cookies by default.

I hope that's not the case, but my sales have been affected on some programs that use cookie tracking only...

Each test I performed involved cookies. SP2 doesn't block cookies by default. There may be another piece of software that is the culprit, like Norton or something else.

Anyone else have any feedback on this?

the significant changes that we're seeing with sp2 are that 3rd party cookies are no longer effective..

im not quite sure how they're stopping them.. im thinking that if the domain in the titlebar does not match whose setting the cookies then they do not get set..
