What you might want to try is to set a cookie when the user first enters the page, but set it's length to 5 minutes. Then everytime the cookie is resent to the page you count it as a user. But if they leave, then the cookie destroy's itself. You can have the cookie reset it's self, or set to when ever the browser closes. But thats up to you
