I have a question. If I click on an affiliate link for affiliate A, don't buy anything, and an hour later, click an affiliate link for affiliate B, does that overwrite the cookie? I would wager that I click on a lot of affiliate links daily.
Even if they don't put the affiliate tags on the free books, if someone buys the free books during the 24-hour cookie session it will still count against the affiliate.

Yes, the second affiliate overrides the first.
