Ask HN: Any WordPress Developers here that can help me?

Hey there. I'm trying to find out what cookies wordpress sets automatically for all users? I'm creating a page count function (as I dont want to use yet another plugin) and at the moment it is counting everytime I press f5. I just want to be able to do it only once. Thanks for your time. I would have usually put this on stackoverflow but the community isnt to fond of broadish questions nor ones without code / specific problems.

I'm not too familiar with WordPress but couldn't you just store the page count in the database and update it periodically?

Any reason you want to do this in WP and not using a javascript solution like Google Analytics? Backend page view tracking is not compatible with most forms of response caching.

I write WordPress plugins for my business and if I want to manage cookies I use something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-session-manager/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-session-manager/. This will give you full control.

You can set/read your own cookies when developing on wordpress. I usually us the jQuery cookie plugin for javascript. You can set/read cookies using php as well.
