Comment on Track Web Visitors, Using Cross Browser Cookies, That Won’t Be Deleted by Jon Reed

That’s the great thing about trying to track people this way. These cookies are detected/set/get all in javascript – all client side. You can detect & send the cookie to a tracking service. If the tracking service isnt sent one, then you can fall back to HTTP cookies.

Good post and some useful information. However, the biggest problem with use flash cookies is Apple. As they don’t support flash on iDevices, it’s impossible to use this method to track them (and, some other non-Apple mobile platforms too).

However, if you can come up with a combination flash-fall-back-to-browser cookie, then you’ve probably covered most of what you need to. Won’t be available across browsers though!

Great post mate, some advanced stuff.

What do you suggest as an alternative to document.write(). Especially if I want to write a script tag to a remote src to the page?

Comment on Why the PS3 (and I) got its dates wrong by dilapper

So, using this ISO year, would you have fallen foul of the same bug they had, where (I believe) it thought 2010 was a leap year?

Because all I could work out from that stackOverflow article was that the first week of 2010 is actually the 53rd week of the ISO-year 2009. That all makes sense, but left me wondering why it would cause problems now (or rather, yesterday).

Does that explain why 01/03/2010 caused such a problem?
