By default, sessions end after 30 minutes of inactivity\u00a0and campaigns end after six months. You can change the settings so sessions and campaigns end after the specified amount of time has passed.<\/p>\n<p>The length of a session and campaign depends on your site and business. Here are a few ideas to get you started thinking about session and campaign timeouts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your site automatically signs a user out after being inactive for a certain amount of time, set the session timeout to match that length of time.<\/li>\n<li>Lengthen the session time if you have a lot of content and expect users to take a long time engaging with that content. Conversely, shorten the session time if the site has a small amount of content.<\/li>\n<li>Set the campaign timeout handling to the same amount of time the campaign is going to run or expected to be relevant. Clicks to a social media micro-campaign might not be relevant for more than a few days after launch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Campaign timeout cannot be greater than two years. Sessions cannot be less than one minute or greater than four hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Change session and campaign timeout settings<\/h3>\n<p>These settings are applied in the admin settings of each\u00a0property\u00a0in your account. To change these settings:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to a property. If you&#8217;re not in the settings menu, click\u00a0Admin. Select the\u00a0<em>account<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>property<\/em>\u00a0you want to edit.<\/li>\n<li>From the\u00a0<em>property<\/em>\u00a0column, click\u00a0<strong>Tracking Info<\/strong>\u00a0then\u00a0<strong>Session Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Under\u00a0<em>Timeout Handling<\/em>, use the controls to set\u00a0<em>Session timeout<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Campaign timeout<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Click\u00a0<strong>Apply<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Learn more about setting\u00a0session timeout\u00a0and\u00a0campaign timeout\u00a0in your tracking code.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G8Kjw7U_N78<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By default, when does an Analytics session expire?
