Counting all my visits
Hi! I've noticed that my Flag Counter on my Last.FM account has been counting my visits per day. However, I also have a Flag Counter on my personal Weebly site but my other visits weren't counted, only my first visit was recorded. Can someone help me on this?
BTW, I'm using Windows 7 and Mozilla Firefox as my browser.

Re: Counting all my visits
Do you use your browser to visit both sites?

Re: Counting all my visits
Hello
I have same problem from work my vistit was counted once on windows 7 professional on firefox 16.0.2
At home on Windows 8 firefox 17 I am counting everyday once and its really frustrating as its ruin my stats. Is there any possibility to fix it or erase my own visits only from the stats. I can't set my cookies not to be cleared as after few minutes of using my firefox will suspend with some errors displying information so I have to set my cookies to be cleared.

Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent FC from counting you every 24 hours when you clear your cookies...

Hi Szaku,
You can either set your browser to not delete cookies, or change your "Repeat Visitor Preference" to one of the non-cookie options, which will prevent you from being counted for up to 72 hours at a time.

Hi lievartovsky,
The counter is only supposed to count your first visit. If you are being counted repeatedly, something is clearing/deleting the cookie that is set.

Re: Counting all my visits
But I don't know what's causing it. I've had my Mozilla set to accept 3rd party cookies and keep them until they expire but still it counts my visits.

Re: Counting all my visits
Hello, i have similar problem - never had it in the last years, but recently Flag Counter started counting my own visits once per day. Is that something new and how can i change it back?
(my browser is firefox and my flag counter is the most basic one)
