Short Explanation
Hits are crumbs; sessions are the meal. A timeout rule says 'if they go quiet long enough, that visit is done.' That simple grouping is what lets civic teams talk about visits instead of a pile of lonely page views.
Full Explanation
Sessionization is a core web-analyzer concept: consecutive hits for an identifier are grouped until an idle timeout closes the session. Municipal UX metrics such as pages per visit and bounce rate depend on that logic. Arbitrary forever-merge or per-hit-only models distort engagement measures.
