I’ve been analysing some UTM-specific traffic using the Traffic Analytics tool in HubSpot. I’ve been noticing some discrepencies in Sessions between HubSpot and Google Analytics. I’ve researched to try and understand exactly what a HubSpot session is, but am struggling to fully wrap my head around it.

Would anyone be able to enlighten me into exactly what a HubSpot Session is? and also how there can be many Sessions but no Session Lengths?

Thanks!

Hi @JBanks ,

In HubSpot, sessions encompass a series of analytics activities taken by a visitor to your website. Activities can include page views, CTA clicks, events, and more. A session expires after **30 minutes of inactivity**.

I think, if you go thorugh this [Knowledge Article](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/reports/why-do-hubspot-and-google-analytics-not-match#:~:text=In%20HubSpot%2C%20sessions%20encompass%20a,after%2030%20minutes%20of%20inactivity.), you would find it really helpful and might even solve your concerns.

Hope it helps.
