\u201cSessions<\/strong>
<\/strong>Indicates how many different domains accessed your internet presence. If a domain accesses your internet presence again, this will not be evaluated as a new session if it occurs on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of “sessions” only allows for a limited conclusion in regards to the number of visitors. Through the fact that access is carried out through a proxy server for larger providers and some users access your internet pages several times a day, a certain amount of distortion must be included in the calculation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
