Please be more detailed to what you want me to check.

If an expert want to hide from my tracking of course he can use a proxy, 
or a TOR service, or incognito Chrome mode or whatever to bypass cookie 
tracking. But the usual visitors wont even know these things and their 
browser will accept cookies.

I do this not as a way to track everybody, but to learn handling 
cookies, database storing of cookies ans stuff like that.

But i cannot overcome this weird baclink referring visits that tend to 
ignore cookies stored in the browser.

I need an explanation for that because it screwns my visitors databases.
