    Are there any affiliate gateways that allow one to do it?
    Why would anyone use it?

    Stop looking for the easy way, or send us a postcard from jail.

      The vast majority of people will just blindly click yes.
      Thank You Mark, I appreciate your reply. That's what I was thinking.

      See, not everybody lives in the US and in some countries it is legal. What the plugin I saw does is put popups on pages with iframes that have the affiliate link of the sale; a person can either buy the product or get rid of it by clearing their browser. Nowhere did I mention I had intentions of participating in it, just wanted to hear your views.

    Brent really answered, nothing more to say then don't do it unless you want to do some time in jail. Cookie stuffing is like selling drugs, eventuality you will get caught.

    Does it sound like there should be a legal way to do it?

    On the whole, you get what you pay for.

    The point is, it's a crappy practice, whether legal or not.

    What the plugin I saw does is put popups on pages with iframes that have the affiliate link of the sale; a person can either buy the product or get rid of it by clearing their browser.
    People should be free to browse the Web without having to worry about this trash. It's bad enough that Web browsers allow marketers to use the "Are you sure you want to leave this page" tactic.
