Analytics & Measurement
Session
A single visit to a website, covering everything a user does within it until 30 minutes of inactivity (or a new day) starts a new one. It's the basic unit most web analytics is built around.
Why it matters
Understanding what counts as one session (versus one user) prevents misreading traffic reports — one person browsing for an hour can generate multiple sessions.
