In the interim, I did take the opportunity to ask some sponsors who use it, and/or whom were approached at Internext about it.
Interestingly enough, not one told me they were aware that affiliate's cookies were superseded after the chat window was closed -- after the click here was enacted --, and one never even knew an affiliate's cookies were overwritten at all. Of the ones I asked who were approached at Internext, none were told that IC overwrote any cookies at all (it was not part of the sales pitch at all according to them). Of the ones I spoke with as a whole that knew cookies were used, all of them them assumed the cookie was expired on exit of the chat window.
Granted my data sampling is small (5 programs), but it is certainly indicative to me that program owners are adding this Intellichat without any idea that affiliate cookies are getting hijacked beyond the chat exit (*per Billy's admission earlier in this thread*).
I'd love to hear IC correct me if this is misinformation.

NATS handles the Cookies..... So when a person clicks the link, NATS gives the surfer a new cookie. Every program owner knows this or they really shouldn't be running a program.
So yes, if a link is clicked to buy for the new offer, OF COURSE a new cookie is set.. even if you didn't set it, it would make no difference..0. and OF COURSE when the window is closed the cookie/ip isn't cleared. How else would they join with the exit window up?
So cancel ip tracking, cookies, the entire system, no refresh of the page, no new codes.. and yet, give the sale back to you? hahaha...
Your entire argument is based on the you thinking your sales come back and join at some crazy level, at a later date. Thus intellichat is stealing your return sales, so the cookie should expire.
Here is what's funny... even if they did cancel the cookie when the window was closed, you would still get the same amount of sales through intellichat. That's because your sales aren't return visitors. If the nats program had a 1 hour cookie expire, you would still get the same sales through intellichat.
At that, you don't even need cookies on, and chances are, you would still get the same % of sales.
The only misinformation going on is in your head.
