New working settings...need to figure out which setting is the problem

[Tracker]
visit_standard_length = 7200
enable_language_to_country_guess = 0

But i wonder what has changed since 1.12? I didnt found something in changelog.

The problem comes from window_look_back_for_visitor = 259200

Note: i also use the userId feature (if that helps)

Hi @ThaDafinser . Do you track via piwik.js?

@tsteur yes. But i couldnt find out, why it happens to some users and some not.

Without using window_look_back_for_visitor it seems to be "stable" again

See the crazy action on the screenshots. even 6s after the last click a visitor gets counted as a new one

You meant you upgraded from 2.12, not 1.12 right?

I can reproduce it!

In my case the problem was related to setCookieDomain.

Eg I used on my local dev _paq.push(['setCookieDomain', '*.piwik']); which didn't work as it couldn't set a cookie for *.piwik. After changing it to _paq.push(['setCookieDomain', '*.apache.piwik']); it worked. Do you maybe use something similar?

Update: Many visits can now also happen if users have cookies disabled (refs #4321), and it might be a bug as it should fallback to configId maybe?

There was a change related to this in Piwik 2.11.2. If you used Piwik 2.12 before, it cannot really explain it.

@tsteur yes i upgraded from 2.12.

Since i only change the setting window_look_back_for_visitor ...i will check if that helps in my case too.

Hi @ThaDafinser

can you please try with RC3 and if you still see the error, re-open this issue?

I cannot really see how window_look_back_for_visitor could cause this issue. By default a value of 1800 (visit_standard_length config setting) is used for this. Setting a higher value for this should not cause more visits. Clearly there are too many visits created here. As a userId is set, the cookie stuff that I mentioned cannot really cause this I think. Can you confirm removing this setting does not cause too many visits?

I trynow 2.13. But i removed the setting already and now i just have a slightly higher visitor count (since the look_back is lower of course)

OK. If you can reproduce again please reopen this issue. Cheers
