About Counting

There is a invisible image embedded on every page. The image is actually a Perl script which writes access data (accessed page, referer, web browser, IP address and time) into a text file. If a link leaving CyDAS is followed, another Perl script is called via a javascript invoked by the "onclick" handler of the link. The data in the text file is evaluated on a monthly basis.

Due to the counting system, some page hits may be lost. If a user has disabled javascript, only part of the information can be collected. This means that the actual usage of the CyDAS website is likely to be higher than shown.

The visitors' origin is determined by using a whois query on their IP-adress. Thus it's possible that some countries of origin were determined incorrectly if the visitor had used e.g. a proxy server.
