What cookie time is OK for YOU when it's about promoting RevShare paysites?

I don't sell Amazon products but I've always wondered if when someone clicks on their site logo if that overwrites the affiliates cookie since its url is http://www.amazon.com/ref=gno_logo.

I didn´t bother about the cookie thing for my sites until I read about it in dizzys posting. I set my cookies to 30 days now and I wouldn´t have problems to set it to max.

The question is, does it matter? Of course there could be surfers coming back after 200 days or so. But are there really those surfers? I can´t answer the question because I do not have any numbers to make a decision.

On the other hand I think most surfers sign up at once and those who don´t won´t come back to the site after 200 days. So personally I don´t care about it and if I´m right, even a lifetime cookie wouldn´t change much if anything.
