cookies, frames and directtrack

[itchy]

i read in another thread, which i now cannot find that, directtrack uses cookies for tracking and therefore will not track leads in which the user has cookies disabled.

with that in mind, i take it leads generated from iframes or framesets won't be tracked if the user is browsing using IE6/7 because the third party cookie would have been blocked? or am i wrong?

would you get credit for the lead if the user buys from your frame?

Technically, i'm not sure. But from what i've tested, using prosper202 to cloak referrer gives better conversion rate than using iframe.

And yes, i've been rotating in for over a week, which is more than enough.

IE 6 & 7 don't block cookies from 3rd party sites, or from iframes, by default... that's why Cookie stuffing was such a huge issue, and all the dipshits at DP are worried about IE8's "porn browsing mode".
Fact of the matter is that turning off all cookies is rarely used, and selective cookie acceptance is even rarer. The sort of people that fall for affilaite links instead of figuring out how to get to the site they want on their own are unlikely to even know that cookies can come in any form other than those from Mrs Fields Bakery or Subways.
