That's what I thought, just wanted confirmation. I will implement cookies.

Thanks,

Define a visitor. If you can come up with a definition of "visitor" that
doesn't involve an IP address, then
getting a count of unique visitors might be possible. The most obvious
solution is to use cookies, and assign a unique permanent cookie to any new
"visitor". Then you can use that cookie as a "user" field.

The issue is discussed in greater detail in
