how

We remove the data that allows us to track down the user from the IP in order to make it more private. In order to gain some unqiness we add the user agent of the browser and the path that has been called. All values will be then hashed with the blake2b hash function.

The result: We can distinguish wether this call already has been made, or if the same 'user' called a path twice, but not if a certain user called another path.
