No, my understanding is that the cookie is modified to include the IC reference. Then if a surfer buys, now or comes back later, s/he is given that same special offer and the affiliate gets his or her share on the discounted price.

NATS is apparently working with IC to change it to allow the affiliate to retain his/her original cookie, unmodified, if the surfer leaves versus leaving with the modified cookie.
