Visitors and pageviews count arrivals. Engagement counts involvement: how often the same people come back within the range.

The Engagement page showing a stickiness distribution of active days per visitor.
Distinct active days per visitor.

Stickiness

For every visitor active in the range, mrkr counts the number of distinct calendar days they were active, then buckets visitors by that count. A range of 30 days can bucket someone anywhere from 1 active day up to 30.

Returning share
The share of all visitors active on more than one day in the range.
Avg. active days
The mean number of distinct active days per visitor.

Where it fits

Engagement duration is measured automatically: see Engagement time. Filters apply to stickiness the same way they apply elsewhere; see Filters and segments. Cross-day stickiness requires cookie mode: cookieless identity rotates daily.
