It sees your requests, so knows your online then.  I counts you online for a defined number of minutes, unless it sees another request, which resets the timer.

If you request a logout, it removes you for online list immediately.

The software we use does not use 'sessions' in the normal sense - sessions are inefficient (though sometimes necessary).

It knows who you are using cookies.

And it can see you through the little known about inbuilt mini web cam at the bottom of your monitor .....

So stop sitting there in your shreddies ..... Big Bro is watching  ;D :D
