Can someone else confirm or deny this? ... because this is a little troublesome that orion might not be able to be configured to work with a major software package like WebTrends for accurate analysis, which, I guess, is why more people use the multi-tiered server solution instead of the way we use orion serving both as the app server and the web server.
Is anybody else using Orion and performing site traffic analysis? What are you using? If you are using WebTrends, what have you done to get it to accurately track unique visitors?
Maybe I can persuade Magnus and Karl to add this access log format directive for cookies. I bake a mean chocolate chip cookie. We'll swap.

There is no way to get a listing of all cookies in your log. You will have
to specify their names the way you did.
There are actually two more format vars available:
$header:<header-name> is similar to the $cookie var for headers
$mime shows the request mime type
