21. Web Analytics Just after the birth of the Internet, IT technicians started maintaining server logs. The server log files store information about parameters such as: The IP address of the visitor The browser identifier. The operating system identifier. The referrer (website from which the request originated). People began developing scripts to extract relevant data from the server log files in order to compile useful information. In this way, web analytics came to life.
