I just went to Amazon via one of your affiliate links in an incognito window and checked the dev tools... there are NO session cookies. There is a cookie that expires in 24 hours called csm-hit. That cookie WILL survive a browser close and reopen.

I write web apps for a living, I understand how cookies work.

Where is Amazon "clear on that"?
