Trace your logs. You've been told this before; are you sure the
request is even getting to your server?

Fundamentally, you're caring about things that it's a LOT easier to
not care about. Just let things happen, and don't try to track people
so much. Not only will some people object to it (are you, for
instance, complying with EU regulations about cookies?), but you're
going to keep running into situations where you just *can't* track
people, no matter how hard you try.
