One thing to add to everybody else's comments
Check to make sure that the REFERRER isn't the current site&CF page,
otherwise if the visitor hasn't got cookies turned on, then it'll keep on
trying to drop one on their machine - and if you put them into a database,
you'll end up with LOADS of never used entries
Also, extending this, if they have their cookies on "Choose" and say "No",
then it'll contually try to drop one, and the user will get REAL annoyed
