Hello,

I have just removed Google Analytics - I want to use an alternative "Simple" counter solution.

However i want a solution that does not capture any personal information, just number of hits etc. If possible no Cookies.

I can't find enough information regarding the built in Analytics - how do i set up a database? How do i find details for the database settings?

Thanks

In all probability you are hosting your website on a Linux Server. In this case, log in to cpanel (www.yourwebsite/cpanel) and select awstats, that should provide lots of detail.

There is also the free optional object Shinystat if you want little more than a simple counter, but I do believe it too uses cookies.

Thankyou all - i was not aware of the cpanel information, i have looked at this and it does contin a lot of information.

I wanted to simple counter on the page itself, but one that did not collect anything of than page hits - and worked on the page, not using a third party.

Perhaps this is not possible.

Thanks

Hello P.S

You should be aware that if you want more than just a number of visits, then it will possible require cookies.

If you want unique users, revisits and so, then I think it involves cookies.

If you just want a simple counter without a 3. part involved then try this : http://justintadlock.com/web-design/counter

You could have a countlog.txt file for every page you want "counted". ( countlog01.txt, countlog02.txt....)

Beware that the files can be "texted" - but this should mean nothing as it is just a number and not confidential information - I think.

You could also give the file(s) a name like pshitcnt01.txt.

I suggest you put the code in a html-object on the page you want "counted".

If you put the code on more pages, then decide if this should be put in the same countlog.txt  file or change the code so it is unique ( filename ) for every page - just a suggestion, in case you choose this solution.

If you put the php-code on a page, then this page should be specified as a php-page.
