  I saw it’s a recurring item, sorry. marcopergioco.wordpress.com (mmeda.net) it’s not private. Different browsers have different behaviors, but i was not able to perform by myself an effective problem determination. Any help or ideas will be very appreciated!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Marco,

  What have you noted so far in terms of how different browsers work?

  With our stat counting, if you have an active login, it shouldn’t count the view. If, for example, you clicked on a link to your blog from the /my-blogs/ page and the cookie is expired, that would likely count the visits until the next login. Our stats team are out this week at a meeting, so let’s see if we can determine what’s going on and, if not, I’ll ask them to weigh in.

  Thanks!

  Cookies… Cookies!

  IE8 works properly (ie stats do NOT count my admin visits) with privacy settings set to “Medium/High”, while fails with them set to “High”. Chrome 31.xx works properly with third-parties cookies enabled, and fails with third-parties cookies blocked.

  Question: what third-party site is involved in your stat module? Just to add it in the cookies exception manager – i guess this could solve the issue.

  Many many thanks.

  They’re all WordPress.com sites, though on different domains.

  We generally suggest leaving third-party cookies enabled so as things change, you don’t have to re-configure anything, but the current list of domains:

  *.wordpress.com
  *.wp.com
  specifically:
  stats.wordpress.com
  s.stats.wordpress.com
  s0.wp.com
  s1.wp.com
  s2.wp.com

  That should handle the stats piece as well as some of our JS-based tools that may balk at higher security settings with separate domains having a piece of the pie.

  If you have any questions or need anything else, please do let me know. We deploy new things all of the time, so please let me know if anything isn’t working as expected with your setup.

  Cheers!
