<p>An online machine data collection and archiving process (15) generates a machine data profile (18) of a customer computer (5) accessing a transaction form of a merchant web site (3) and links the machine data profile (18) and a transaction record (6) with customer identifying information using a unique transaction identification string. The process preferably captures parameters typically communicated as part of web accesses, such as an IP address, an HTTP header, and cookie information. The process additionally causes the customer computer (5) to process self-identification routines by processing coding within the merchant transaction form, the self-identification routines yielding further profile parameters. The process further includes a routine for bypassing an intervening proxy to the merchant web site (3) to reveal the true IP address of the customer computer (5).</p> |
