Hi Marc,

The information you're after is not available in the data we collect, for
at least two reasons

   - We don't collect data allowing to detect user sessions (no id-cookie
   or identifier)
   - We don't collect time spent on page

Approximations could be made using finger-printing techniques as a proxy
for sessions (with an important error on mobile due to ip-pooling), and
successive events as boundaries for time spent on page.
These approximations would in any case need an NDA.

Cheers
Joseph
