 * Hello,
    I want to know where my user comes from (Google, Direct, …) I can use
   the <?php wp_get_referer() ?> which works, but I want to save this information
   during the whole stay of the user in my page. Right now the information is lost,
   once the user goes to a subpage.
 * I have 2 ideas:
 * – WP has a function that saves the first referer
    – I save the info in a session.
   Does WP have some array or variable as a session already where I can save the
   info or how do sessions in WP work?
 * Thanks 🙂
