- In web analytics, a session, or visit is a unit of measurement of a user's actions taken within a period of time or with regard to completion of a task. Sessions are also used in operational analytics and provision of user-specific recommendations. There are two primary methods used to define a session: time-oriented approaches based on continuity in user activity and navigation-based approaches based on continuity in a chain of requested pages.

Generally, a session is understood to consist of "a sequence of requests made by a single end-user during a visit to a particular site".In the context of search engines, "sessions" and "query sessions" have at least two definitions.A session or query session may be all queries made by a user in a particular time periodor it may also be a series of queries or navigations with a consistent underlying user need.
