Unless the surfer decides to go to the index page, where it's cookie will be rewritten with the default account ID for the site. But you will get bookmark sales which is good.

This is not the proper way to track, because you may see more unique hits (surfers with no cookies), that are actually raw hits. That's where stats difference may occur and is not a reason that would affect your sales too much.

I bet their reason was to increase the stability of the system and not do a database check, which can be prevented from just looking at the cookie (if it exists, no check is needed).

The default is the opposite. So far I've only seen one company that changes it to their own ID on the index page (the company that owns that other big board).
