Logging

mod_usertrack sets a cookie which can be logged via mod_log_config configurable logging formats:

LogFormat "%{Apache}n %r %t" usertrack
CustomLog "logs/clickstream.log" usertrack

CookieDomain Directive

Description:	The domain to which the tracking cookie applies
Syntax:	`CookieDomain domain`
Context:	server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override:	FileInfo
Status:	Extension
Module:	mod_usertrack

This directive controls the setting of the domain to which the tracking cookie applies. If not present, no domain is included in the cookie header field.

The domain string must begin with a dot, and must include at least one embedded dot. That is, .example.com is legal, but www.example.com and .com are not.

Most browsers in use today will not allow cookies to be set for a two-part top level domain, such as .co.uk, although such a domain ostensibly fulfills the requirements above.
These domains are equivalent to top level domains such as .com, and allowing such cookies may be a security risk. Thus, if you are under a two-part top level domain, you should still use your actual domain, as you would with any other top level domain (for example .example.co.uk).

CookieDomain .example.com

CookieExpires Directive


Description:	Expiry time for the tracking cookie
Syntax:	`CookieExpires expiry-period`
Context:	server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override:	FileInfo
Status:	Extension
