"Cookieless Web Counter" is a very simple web site visit counter which allows a very fast and easy monitoring of the number of visitors to many web sites at once without setting cookies and therefore protecting users privacy. The code is written in PHP and MySQL and the user interface is made of plain HTML without Javascript.
Main Features
New in the last version 20200812
- added alternate CURL function to fetch geoPlugin (formerly Geolite2) locations if allow_url_fopen=0 in php.ini
- added controls to prevent permanent geoPlugin ban because of excessive requests
- number of visits to dump reduced to 20-50-100 to limit the risk of a temporary ban
