Hello.
In general, I write my own analytics for the site...
Task: to get all unique visitors.
Respectively, you need to do something unique. ID.
There are always basic options (which do not suit me!):
1. By exceeding the inactivity on the site (more than 15-30 minutes have passed - the next one with the same data = unique).
2. Setting cookies in the browser.
Who tried to do it?
Who has any ideas?
Thank you!

I can predict how these studies will end. They are all the same:

I am an illiterate but very, very energetic developer!
I do not understand the existing methods, but they do not suit me!
So quickly figure out for me here how to get around the limitations of the technology, which I do not understand!
Thank you all, I decided to use the most crooked method from the standard ones.
