Track Cookie Usage with a Web Service via AJAX

Many of the modern and sophisticated traffic monitoring software can track everything from number of visits, where a visitor came from, what search terms were used to find your site, where the visitor came from geographically, to what type of browser they are using on what platform. Many of the JavaScript based solutions such as Google Analytics offer much more information about the browser than ones that sit between the web and the web server such as AWStats. This is because there is much more information provided via JavaScript about the screen resolution and color depth, however the down side is that if JavaScript is disabled you don’t get any information. So it is usually a wise idea to use a combination of both Client and Server based traffic monitoring.
