Let’s say I want to know the conversion rate of my payment page. I need to know how many unique visitors viewed a page, and how many of them went on to complete a payment. I’m pretty sure this is not possible without a unique identifier. And if you are using (ip address, user agent) as a proxy for such an identifier, is that any better or legal than using a cookie in the first place?
