Question about website statistics?

I want to gather website statistics based on individual computers. I know that it would be easy to gather how many times an ip address visits a website, but I am not sure how to gather how many times a specific computer visits my website. Also, I thought about using cookies, but some Web browsers do not allow cookies so I want to find another solution. Any help is greatly appreciated

    It is very simple. I am not sure which platform and which web server you are using. But if it was Linux and apache. I would find out like this:

    grep x.x.x.x access_log | wc -l

    Edit:

    As far as i know, every computer has an ip address.Are you referring to ip masquerading As far as i all modern browser accept cookies. So are you trying to capture one in a million request that does not accept cookies ?

    It's not possible on the server side: you'll have to put something on the client PCs
