Session
A session is one continuous visit by a single person — from arriving to leaving or going idle. In analytics, sessions are a basic unit for measuring traffic, and in a web app a session is also what keeps someone logged in.
Why does a session matter to your business?
Sessions are how you count real visits rather than raw page loads, and how you understand what happens within one visit. In a logged-in product, session handling is also a security matter — how long people stay signed in and how safely that is managed.
At Nabee, session handling is built correctly into products for both analytics and security, and it feeds the numbers used to improve the site under maintenance. It is a quiet piece that affects both measurement and safety.
A concrete example
When a teacher logs into Toree and works for a while, that is one session. Handling it securely keeps them signed in safely without exposing their account, while analytics counts the visit accurately.

Common questions
- Is a session the same as a visitor?
- No. One visitor can have many sessions over time. A session is a single visit; a visitor is the person across visits.
- How long is a session?
- It typically ends after a period of inactivity or when the person leaves. The exact timeout varies by setup.
- Why does session handling matter for security?
- It controls how long someone stays logged in and how safely that state is stored, which Nabee builds correctly.
