Are you tracking per session, per ip, or other?

You could store in a session if you only wanted to keep the stats for
the live of that users visit, otherwise you will need to have some kind
of unique id for that user and store stats in a database.

If you had a user with a username/password, you could track in a
database which sections they access, or you could have standard
..htaccess type password and then use interrogate standard Apache logs
based on the REMOTE_USER field.

I'm not really sure of your full plan here. Maybe you could elaborate
on this.
