If we want to track a visitor then the simple way of tracking it can be

# app/controllers/application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :track_visitor

  def track_visitor
    cookies[:visit_count] ||= 0
    cookies[:visit_count] += 1
    # if you want to save the IP address of the visitor then add the following code.
    # I assume that you have a Visitor model in your application
    Visitor.create location: request.remote_ip
  end
end
