\nreliant on JavaScript and cookies. JavaScript unmasks key,
\ndistinguishing information about the visitor (the pages they are looking

\nclient-side solutions profess to provide human visitor information, they

\ninsert the page tag in a common header and footer file. For static sites
\n(that don’t use server-side includes), this tag will have to be
\nmanually inserted on every page to be tracked.<\/p>\n
