A server device is connected to at least one client device over at least one network. The server device hosts a website having entry controller logic that accesses a cookie on a client device that is seeking access to the hosted website. The entry controller logic is configured to: (1) initiate authenticating logic if there is a registered user cookie; (2) grant the client device entry to the hosted website if there is no cookie and provide the client device with a new guest user cookie; (3) grant the client device entry to the hosted website if there is a valid guest user cookie; or, (4) initiate validating logic if the guest user cookie is invalid for some reason.
