That's not cookie stuffing, that's just being deceptive. Cookie stuffing doesnt just mean sending a user to an affiliate link, it means specifically loading unrelated sites, usually in the background (or used with js/flash). I'm noting it because you're using the wrong term.

I disagree that there is a monopoly on the term. But even if we accept that, my example meets the requirements of the page you linked. Read it more carefully.
