RE: [Summary-Talk] Visits with session cookies

["Pablo F. Garcia Melga" <pablo.garcia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately that's my case... I have 
ASPSESSIONDXXXZZZZYYYY=AAAABBBCCCDDD
, is there any plan to support this type of token ?, is there any other 
way
to know for sure the amounts of visits not contaminated by proxies,
firewalls , etc.. ?

Regards, Pablo

Normally yes, if you have Summary SP Lite or SP and your server is 
configured to log the cookie information. You turn on "Use session IDs to 
determine visits", on the Options configuration page, and set "Cookie 
token to use as session ID", on the Details configuration page, to 
"ASPSESSIONID".

However, newer releases of IIS sometimes call the cookie something other 
than "ASPSESSIONID", often adding varying characters to the end of the 
cookie name. If the cookie name remains consistant you are all set, but 
if it varies over time it won't work. Summary doesn't support session ID 
cookies with varying cookie names.
