That depends on how they are returning to the site. If they've bookmarked a page on the sponsor tour, no credit to the affiliate. If they've bookmarked a link to one of your promo pages, then the cookie will get reset each time they visit.

In the case where they've bookmarked a tour page, even if they're not using one of the new browsers in stealth mode, the affiliate still won't get credit if they fail to join before the cookie expires, or if the surfer is in the habit of clearing his cookies frequently.
