I use this code to retrive or set a cookie to the visitor's browser if

All work well except the situation where the user visits my webpage by
clicking a backlink on another wbpage.
Then for some reason the cookieID changes to another value thus a new entry
appears into the database when insert happens.
What cna i do about that?
This question is really about HTTP, not Python, so you'd have better
luck asking elsewhere. The most likely possibility is that the domain
doesn't match. For example, the cookie is set for the domain
www.foo.com, and the other webpage is linking to foo.com. Another
possibility is that the cookie is expiring because the browser session
was terminated, not because of anything to do with the other webpage.
Or it could simply be a bug or unusual setting in whatever browser
you're using to test it.
When i direct hit http://superhost.gr the cookie remains the same it is
not lost.
Also i have set:
ookie['ID']['expires'] = 60*60*24*365 #this cookie will expire in a
year
but that didnt also help much because the cookie is also changing when
the hit comes through a referrer.
So, i cannot se the cookie down to its feet my whole insert or update
procedure breaks and i have duplicate entried for the same hostnames.
Where shoudl i rely to identify a visitor?
I was relying on tis hostname(although i know that after a router reset)
it changes, and then couple days ago i was thiking of relying to a
cookie that i would/set retrive from the vistirs browser, but if it
changes all the time i cannot evan rely to that.
