Problem/Motivation

Identifying unique visitors among un authenticated users is difficult.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Add two cookies:

_pk_id – 13 months (used to store a few details about the user such as the unique visitor ID)
_pk_ses – 30 minutes (short lived cookies used to temporarily store data for the visit)

The site's session cookie may have a session life longer than 30 minutes. There is a separate visitor session cookie for visitors reports.

Remaining tasks

Rename visitors_id column to id
Add visitor_id (varchar(32)) for unique visitor id
Create cookie service to read cookies
Log visitor id

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Add one column to store the unique visitor id
