Well, it's lightweight and easy as there is only one way into the site

[login page]  - > [home page]

and as we already are logging the time / user + other info, adding

           #cookie.whatever#

into the log is easy.

We are just getting stats so we can target our next build.
Is there a reason I shouldn't use this method?

Thanks
Justin
