Never seen anything as long as that before - does it qualify for the Guinness book of records ? Like 'That's Life' from years ago ..... Unless you know better...

That's excellent. Who was the Merchant?

Yes, what on earth were they buying that took them that long to ponder?!

I beat that!

I had a cookie set on 02/11/2005 with a transaction on 18/05/2007!

It was for Catalink, who have a 999 day cookie.

Doh I guess that puts me into a pretty poor second place !

Mine was buyagift, which is a bit stunning considering they must be one of the most clicked on sites from affiliate links. Perhaps someone went overseas and left their PC behind. Seems a bit unlikely that someone using their PC regularly wouldn't have had the cookie overwritten, deleted it themselves, had spyware or had an antivirus clear the cache.

Of course I only got 40p commission.....

I've had sales come from clicks over a couple of years old!

Perhaps there's a few people around still who save up before they buy stuff !
