We totally agree.
Actually this happened recently with Adult Force products.
We offer review-site discounts but a surfer emailed us that the discount price was not applied. It might not "cookie stuffing" but the surfer had to delete cookies manually.
(The surfer joined the site at regular price, which we didn't deserve a sale via our link
)
