Returning Human visitors during the last 30 days
The Returning visits of the visitors are analyzed, out from data in the log posts, as unique visitors visit sessions running count value for a 30 day period, but displayed for the time span to view.
In parallel are the accumulated returning visits tracked via a stored visit sessions count in cookie, and a corresponding analyze of returning visit sessions is made out from unique IP numbers. Data from cookie and IP No is as a reference.

The UVV algorithm is the one containing the most true statistic values (and the one PhpTrackIT is based upon).
The IP algorithm often gives a to high value of sessions per visitors due to reused dynamic IP adresses.
The Cookie algorithm often gives a to low value of sessions per visitor due to deleted cookies.
2) Based on the returning visits count value stored in the cookie of the vistors, for unique visitors within the time span.
This count value is since the cookie was created and thus could contain data for longer period than the time span!
3) A visit session = a series of pageviews of an unique visitor with no more than 3hr since last pageview.
4) This provides an indication of the problem of using cookies for tracking purpose (which PhpTrackIT does not use).
