Frequently asked questions

What is a unique visitor?

A distinct person (or browser identity) counted once in a period, no matter how many sessions they had.

Why don't my uniques match GA4?

Different identity models, consent modes, and cookieless approaches. Compare trends inside one tool.

Are unique visitors the same as users?

Often used interchangeably in marketing analytics. Product analytics "users" may mean logged-in accounts instead.
