Cookies and tracking...?

[Earl Young]

     You might also look at software packages such as WebTrends - demo 
     copies of which are available over the Web.  Are you tracking your own 
     site or a remote site?
     
     WebTrends and similar packages - along with the logs available from 
     many server packages - should provide you with the information you 
     seek about your own site.

For my master's thesis I am attempting to track the use of a 
website/scientific repository.  I am currently looking at the 
possibility of using cookies to log page transitions and analyze any 
trends in the information flow. 
     
I'm looking for any suggestions/experiences/horror stories about 
any tracking, but especially the use of cookies.  TIA...
