I doubt very heavily that the numbers I'd like to see even exist, but it'd be interesting to see what the numbers are as far as Zango (or any toolbar) users compared to the number of cookies that used to be overwritten.
Either way, someone's getting fucked out of sales & that's bad.
Maybe it's time that CCBill (finally) redesigned their referral system and got rid of the cookies?
