Hi Saqib, If you want to track repeat customers, use cookies. If you want to track referers, use unique urls that contain a code that maps to refers in your data base. One twist to cookies that I use is to store a public key of the user. They key is used to encode their password and send a digest. In this way, passwords are never sent (even over an SSL connection). I also never store passwords (only digests). If no cookie is available, I record the fact and encode the password using a general public key. I can then challenge the user. Anyone with a bit of smarts can encrypt a password (just as they could randomly guess at a password), but they cannot steal passwords from the server (none there), or sniff using SSL sniff tools.
