Per Session:removes requests from a user when an ID (such as an order ID or session ID) is the same within a 24-hour period. 1.

User 1 User 1 User 1 User 1 User 1 User 1 User 1 User 1 For example, even though a user may return 10 times to a site, only one visit will be reported. The reason why only one visit is reported is because only the first visit in 24 hours is considered "unique." All subsequent visits in 24 hours are disregarded. For example, a user goes to a site 10 times, and each time, the user gets counted. For example, a user returned to a site and bought something, or had a session. If it is a unique order ID or session, then the user is counted again. There are three counter-tracking methods: REPORT: 1 unique order ID or session, one user = 1 • REPORT: • impressions, • one user = 1 • REPORT: • impressions, • one user = 10
