ASP Cookie

[stfarm]

Hi,

I would like to create a cookie and append it to my IIS log files. I would like to able to see how each visitor moves around my site.

I know the basics, but I am not sure how I am able to determine if the visitor has been on the site before, maybe also from where and when? I guess I have to have a cookie script on each page?

I hope somebody can help me.

The cookie will be for

Thank you,

Steve

If you have control over the server you can add the session cookie code to the logs using IIS. That will not tell you if they are a return visitor of course.
But you can't create a persistent cookie with asp and have it appear in the IIS access logs.

This is a page view tracking script I use. It's a relatively trivial task to add cookie creation to it and use the initial session ID as the unique signature. Something I'm on with to convert it into an affiliate tracking script as well. Should be done and tested by mid next week (not a high priority) if you want to check back.

Actually I created a Cookie, and the host added it to the log files. I can now see it. But like you said, I think I am missing something to make sure I see all returning visitors.
If you could let me know about your update, that would be great. I will also try to remember.
Thank you for your help.
