Viewing Unique Visitors

Unique Visitors



User: Ron H. 2 months ago
I am trying to find something on analytics that tells what a 'unique visitor' is exactly. Is this considered someone who is accounted as one person per 7 days, per month, or? Please help!

Hi Ron,

Thank you for posting.

A unique visitor, also known as a unique user, refers to an individual who visits a website at least once within a specified period, typically a day, week, or month. This metric is used to measure the reach and audience size of a website.

A unique visitor is counted only once within the specified time frame, regardless of how many times they visit the site during that period. For example, if a person visits a website five times in a day, they are still considered one unique visitor for that day.

Unique visitors are usually tracked using cookies, IP addresses, and other methods to identify individual users. Cookies are the most common method, where a small file is stored in the visitor’s web browser, allowing the website to recognize them on subsequent visits.

Unique visitors are different from page views or visits. Page views count the total number of pages viewed, while visits count the number of times the site is accessed. A single unique visitor can generate multiple page views and visits.

While unique visitor metrics provide valuable insights, they are not perfectly accurate. Some users may disable cookies, use different devices or browsers, or browse in incognito mode, leading to potential over or undercounting.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Does everweb have a specified time for each unique visitor? Is it a week, a month? In other words how long are the everweb cookies for?

Hi,

EverWeb typically uses cookies to track unique visitors, but the duration can vary depending on how the site is set up. Generally, cookies might last for a session, a week, or even longer. To find the specific duration for EverWeb cookies, check the privacy policy or settings of the website in question, or contact EverWeb support directly for precise information.

Hope that helps!

Best,
