 * Hi, I would need your help with the following : I let the session value to 1800
   sec. and I made a test with my iPad. I visit a post and refresh the page within
   a few seconds, and your plugin display 2 visits. Is there another setting that
   affect this result? (i hope i’m clear, english is not my first language).
    Thanks
   for your help.

 * Hi,
 * I see how this can be confusing at times. There is a fundamental difference between
   sessions and pageviews: while the latter, as the name itself says, represents
   the action of accessing a single page on your website, the former allows you 
   to group multiple pageviews together, and to distinguish among pageviews generated
   by THE SAME USER on multiple devices within a given timeframe (think people behind
   a firewall connecting from a computer lab). More information can be found here:

 * Thank a lot for taking of your time for answering with so much generosity. Hope
   this will also help others like me to better understand how those things work.
