Re: How to identify the Visitor

As poster above stated, CGI or Cookies are the easiest

I'd recommend cookies, since you can normally track individual computers on a single IP using them. But you can't track them if they continually change cookies without either being a static IP and the only computer on that IP, or installing some plugin to identify them (IE what banking plugins do)

How can this be possible, Is it possible to retrieve the information contained in cookies inserted by other websites.	[reply]

You can't utilize 3rd party cookies to obtain personal information. All you can do is supply them a questionaire and hope they fill in their personal details (unlikely) IP's can have multiple computers on them as I said above, so... There isn't in existence	[reply]
