You can manually write a cookie on your machine, or use a special script
that only you visit that contains a setcookie() call (it only need be
set once). From there on, you can check the $_COOKIES super global for
the presence of your cookie. To test, visit the site with a different
browser (browsers won't share the cookies) and you'll see the visit
logged.
Thanks,
