Visitors

Visitors are unique users of the site.

In our context, a unique user is identified by a hashed combination of the following data:

• IP address
• User-Agent header
• Timestamp of the start of the current day

How users are distinguished:

• If a user logs in from different devices but has the same IP, they are considered different users.

• If a user logs in from the same device but through different networks, they are also considered different users.

• If a user logs in from the same IP and device but uses a different browser or OS, they are still considered a different user.

Events on Jan 1 at 00:01 and 23:59 will have the same visitor ID, but events on Jan 1 at 23:59 and Jan 2 at 00:01 will have different visitor IDs.

On the visitors chart, a unique user is counted only at their first page view of the day.
