UPDATE ON TILDE ANALYTICS
iAnyway, for this week I have some updates for the tilde amalytics!
i
iUpdated session tracking
i
iIn order to count unique pageviews the pixel stored the SHA1 hash of the
irequest IP address. This is not really secure since a) I am sure rainbow
itables for IPv4-SHA1 exist and b) the ip doesn't change, so you can
itrack an user between session.
i
iI changed this to something new: a session cookie!
i
iNow before you start worrying about me tracking users between websites,
iI can tell tou that the session cookie does not have a max age set, so
iit will expire after the browser is closed. Also it doesn't reveal the
irequest's ip address so this is the better option!
i
iNew dashboard for viewing analytics
i
iThe current analytics "dashboard" is everything but user friendly. In
iorder to help the maybe one person that is using this I crafted this
imess of javascript code:
i
iFind it on my ~town
i
iHow to use this:
i
i1. Open the left menu
i2. Create a new site
i3. Add pages to the site with the floating + button
i4. ???
i5. Profit!
i
iHere is a screenshot:

iAnyway, that's all I have for this week. Maybe I'll have some time this
iweek to start programming some sort of comments system.
i
