Re: WEBTREND_ID Cookies

Thanks. Doesn't sound nearly as bad as I first imaged:

How about "WebSideStory" -- which I think is a subset of "Hitbox"?

WebSideStory used to be also a hits and traffic analyzer but with a different purpose.
Their main usefulness was - and I'm talking about 3 years ago - syndication. For instance, you could display their statistics on your site as part of the content. Some of those statistics were useful for web developers and included the percentage of used browsers, screen resolution, color depth, etc.

You can see an example at EchoEcho on their right side bar, though I can see that they have changed to statistics provided by The Counter. They used to come from WebSideStory.
