Tracking by countries
I understand the current flag counter will track which country a visitor is from as long as the visitor is a new person that hasn't viewed the flag counter image before. However, is there anyway to track which country the visitor is from regardless of whether they are a new visitor or one that has already viewed the flag counter before? For example, if a new visitor from germany visited my flag counter, then it would get recorded which date they viewed it. However, if the same visitor from germany views it a week later the flag counter will only count their visit but not identify which country that are from. Anyway around this? Thanks.

Re: Tracking by countries
As i understand the counting it strongly depends on browser cookies and IP-address-lists.
So this first of all depends on if the original visit flag counter cookie is still active.
Every visitor who regularly deletes his cookies will count as a new visitor from his country after that.
But deleting browswer cookies (fortunately) is the competence of the visitor.
By the way: Everybody using a proxy-site will count as visitor of the proxy´s location country.
Who knows how these sites manage their cookies?

Re: Tracking by countries
If you have Flag Counter Pro, you can see the country of repeat visitors in your visitor log.
