Even still, wouldn't the warning page be enough?

Only if you had code within your warning page that set a cookie that you then retreived on each page. Until the surfer actually clicks a link to the sponsor tour no affiliate tracking cookie has been set. It's easier to just insert the PHP code into the nav links of the HFS, and also more reliable since it's not dependent on the surfer allowing cookies or the hosted sites being on the same domain.
