True. But it's quite a nice convention to follow.

That also changes the mechanism from log-on-set to log-on-return, though.
If they didn't have a cookie, on their first request mod_usertrack will
set it and log it. If you only log from inbound cookies, though, you
don't log on that first request.
You'll lose external Referer data from that first request, which may or may
not matter to you. On the bright side, when someone with cookies switched
off goes through your site, they won't leave a trail of orphan cookies with
them (cookies set and logged, but never returned).
