Sessions
How Waymore groups visitor events into sessions and the properties generated for each session.
A session is a set of visitor events grouped together as one continuous visit. Waymore automatically generates session properties when tracking activity through Waymore.js or server-side sources.
Sessions timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity — if no new events arrive within that window, the next event starts a new session.

Important notes
- Location fields are estimates from IP geolocation — useful in aggregate, not always accurate per session
- Session
durationis most reliable for browser sessions tracked with Waymore.js; server-side events may report overlapping or zero durations - Referrer information comes from the first event in the session
