for my own site tracking, i set a cookie that expires once per day,
so i get each visitor logged only once per day...
for my splash page, i do it once per month
(http://evolt.org/index.cfm?menu=8&cid=416)... this also applies
to my screen res tracking
(http://evolt.org/index.cfm?menu=8&cid=2295)...
not the most efficient way, perhaps, but it does the job...
