RE: Cookie and tracking

2001-02-11 Thread Maia, Eric

I'm not referring to specific sites run with CF, just generally sites I
visit on the Web. If I have to wade through a thicket of dialog boxes to get
to the content, it's not worth it.

 I'll second this comment. I have my cookies set to "ask 
 first" and I never
 return to a site where I have to reject a cookie several 
 times each time I
 load a page. (I always reject ad cookies, but accept ID/token cookies)

I thought this behaviour was changed with 4.5... ?

RE: Cookie and tracking

2001-02-06 Thread Philip Arnold - ASP

 Does anyone have suggestion on a method to drop a cookie on the
 homepage of a site and then track that cookie to figure who is a
 new user vs. returning user.

One thing to add to everybody else's comments

Check to make sure that the REFERRER isn't the current siteCF 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

!-- user has been here before --
cfelse
!-- user is visiting for the first time, or has cookies disabled --
cfcookie name="firstvisit" value="#now()#"

the BEST way is to have your users register with your site.  then anytime
they want to see the site, they have to log on and then u cna keep track of
them.
