    Visits vs. Visitors:
    Analytics measures both visits and visitors in your account. Visits represent the number of individual sessions initiated by all the visitors to your site. If a user is inactive on your site for 30 minutes or more, any future activity will be attributed to a new session. Users that leave your site and return within 30 minutes will be counted as part of the original session.


    The initial session by a user during any given date range is considered to be an additional visit and an additional visitor. Any future sessions from the same user during the selected time period are counted as additional visits, but not as additional visitors.

    Yes, Google analytic measure both visits and visitors. visit means user come in site that count one visit and one visitor. and if same visitors came on site than it called unique visitor.

    The other thing to consider is that visitors often means unique visitors. if the person returns to the site had several hits, but only a visitor.

    A visit happens when someone visits your site. It consists of one or more page views/ hits. One visitor can make multiple visits to your site.

    A visitor is the browser of a person who accepts a cookie. Opentracker utilizes 1st party cookie technology.
