Notes

• Use this method only if you have installed the Piwik PRO container (or tracking code) in a non-standard way and the script needs to know the visitor ID before sending the first tracking request. Make sure it's called after all necessary cookie configuration methods are called (setCookieNamePrefix(), setCookieDomain(), setCookiePath(), and the like).
