People are telling me they're returning to my site, but they aren't being counted as a returning visitor in my counter statistics. Why?

The counter uses both browser cookies and IP address data to remember people. If the cookie gets deleted or their IP changes, they won't be counted as a returning visitor.

Also please note that returning visits are only recorded if 12 or more hours pass before they come back.
