    Thanks for sharing this, I find I sometimes get confused with co-workers when talking in different terminology.

    Hi Engtech,

    You’re welcome, but you should thank the Web Analytics Association and the volonteers of the Standards Committee that have produced this document. If you want to help the organization in this kind of initiatives, I strongly invite you to become a member of the WAA 😉
