Nice feature, but I won't add it in official trunk for at least 2 reasons :
- it does not use our coding guidelines that says "no SQL query in a .pl
script, only in a .pm package". Thus, you should have done a
C4/Queries.pm package.
- it seems strange to me : you have a counts row in cookie table (I
would have choosen another name for this table, but that's a little
note), but only store 1 in the row. The best solution, would be to
increment the counter row (update ... set counts=counts+1), while you
create one every time. You'll get a huge query in the long term...

however, I keep the feature in my mind, maybe i'll add it in 3.0 in the
future (no promise ;-) )
