I am going to be mad if I find an Amazon tracking cookie that makes you money ever time I buy from Amazon from now on.

Anyways, the blog was an inspiration for me to start my own blog (which I have been putting off) and gave me some ideas for a way for it to fund itself.

"I am going to be mad"

Why? It doesn't cost you anything. You can delete it if it bothers you. It expires after one day (so no "from now on").

I may visit 100s of websites daily and none of them have anything to do with what I usually buy on Amazon. I don't want someone to profit off the measuring cups I bought off Amazon or the alternator I got on eBay because I visited a blog about a guy with a standing desk.

Your issue is with Amazon's system, then, not with the affiliates themselves. It's what Amazon has set up. There are plugins to replace any Amazon Affiliate link with your own, if you're absolutely dead-set against it.
