Additional information about acquisition channels

The acquisition channel is checked after each page view and stored for the visit’s duration. Each new visit will have its own acquisition channel. If multiple acquisition channels are used across different visits (for example, visit 1 = SEA, visit 2 = Direct, and visit 3 = SEA), the visitor will accumulate two visits for SEA and one visit for Direct in the Results page when displaying by visit. The Results page will display one visitor for SEA and one visitor for Direct in the visitor view. A visit or visitor can have several acquisition channels assigned at the same time. Matches are recorded in the page event.
