What is a geolocation session?
Your geolocation session count doesn’t seem accurate?
This issue is most likely caused by bots visiting your site and consuming your session quota. Learn what you can do.
A geolocation session refers to the period of time starting from when a visitor accesses a page with a geolocation trigger until either the visitor closes the browser or remains inactive for 25 minutes (the duration may slightly vary depending on the user’s browser and server hosting the website).
To illustrate, if a visitor lands on the homepage, navigates to multiple other pages, and eventually leaves, this activity will be counted as a single session.
The table below illustrates how different visitor interactions impact the session count on a website with geotargeted content:
| Scenario | Session Count |
|---|---|
| A visitor only views pages without geotargeted content and then leaves | 0 |
| A visitor views a page with conditional content, the geolocation condition is not one of the conditions (other If-So conditions are used). | 0 |
| A visitor browses multiple pages within a single session | 1 |
| A visitor visits a page with geotargeted content, and then refreshes the page | 1 |
| A visitor views a page, closes the tab, and returns to the site after 15 minutes | 1 |
| A visitor views a page with geotargeted content, but their location doesn’t match any targeted locations (default content is shown). *The user’s location still needs to be checked in this case. | 1 |
