Hi Amos,
Thanks for responding

Could you please elaborate a little on the above logic.
My understanding, if not wrong, is to take domain/host of first client GET request & don't consider the same if it matches with the subsequent GET requests.
In this case there is possibility of multiple unique domains/hosts for single page (Eg. other domain Ads, analytics etc)?

Your assumption is wrong. Referer header (when it exists) is tracking a
whole browsing session, not a particular website or page.
You would be better off taking the first use of any domain by a client,
then ignoring other requests for it until there is some long period
between two of them. The opposite of what session helpers do.
