What % of your sales do you feel you are losing because it is because of cookies?

EDIT TITLE: What % of your sales do you feel you are losing because of lost cookies ?

This is for affiliate programs that operate off of tracking cookies.

Everytime I turn around I see something wanting to block or steal cookies. One way or another cookies are being lost.

- Spyware on surfers pc's stealing cookies. I bet it is more common than most think, and not zango but the stuff that hides in the background and they never know is there.
- New browsers that block cookies or make it easy for sufers to block 3rd party cookies.
- Anti virus software, I just updated Norton and it indicated I had 1 fix to make, Low Risk, Tracking Cookies with the default action set to [ FIX] and one of the permanent options to disable all cookies.

I wonder how many cookies get lost, which results in loss of sales for affiliates because of the reasons above. I believe a lot of affiliate programs still use cookies? But this is something I hardly see anyone taking about, if ever.

Discuss ?
