In closed loop example, same handful of users clicks on company XYZ's ad. This time, however, they are directed to a web page where they are asked to provide some additional information in exchange for something of value (e.g., a white paper, contest entry, etc). When user completes form, their information is stored in a simple database. At this point, a relatively simple VBScript will enable you to track your user's activity on your website at this point without use of cookies. With each page user visits during initial session, script writes to database you created. Now you can see, in a very user-friendly format, which resources your visitor accessed on your website.
