This page describes the reports in the report section "Visitors". These reports analyze the number and behavior of the visitors of your Product Guide. |
A Visit (also known as a Session) is defined as an interaction of one individual with the Product Guide with one or more requests to the Product Guide.
During the course of a Visit, the user can leave the Product Guide and come back, and if the user does so within the session timeout, it is not counted as a new Visit. Examples of leaving the Product Guide and coming back are: Navigating from the Product Guide to the website's product detail pages or any other content in the website where the Product Guide is integrated; closing the browser and reopening the browser again and re-visiting the website / Product Guide afterwards.
The default session timeout is set to 15 minutes.
Please note that re-establishing a Visit after the user closed his browser is only possible if the session cookie was not deleted.
A (Unique) Visitor is a specific user that interacted with the Product Guide.
In most cases, you will realize less Unique Visitors than Visits since a Visitor may visit the website or Product Guide several times.
