Abstract
From a programmer’s standpoint, one great problem of the web is the lack of an intrinsic identification of visitors. Cookies provide a means of identifying visitors, with their approval, so that continuity can be established between visits. Cookies are limited in the amount of information they can hold but, by storing an identification number in a cookie, we can then use that ID with ASP-ADO to look up a returning visitor in our database, and thus have all of the visitor’s data available.
