Just as bad, if not worse, in my view, are sponsors who only track using cookies - so if a user blocks them, zero credit for the webmaster.
Better sponsor programs track using a combination of aff code passed in the urls / pages, user sessions, and cookies.
Unfortunately, sponsors often have little incentive to build a robust tracking system, since glitches equal less credit for webmasters and conversely more revenue for the sponsor.
While it's helpful, especially for larger affiliates who have the staff / expertise, to track down leaks / cheating, ultimately it's the bottom line that counts - from that one can easily spot the uncaring / cheating sponsors from the good, productive ones.
