Advent Calendar (Daily) Session Count Tracking

We are implementing an Advent Calendar on our Website in a dedicated Landing Page (mywebsite/adventcalendar).



As every day Users can win a prize by clicking on the "box" of the day; I would like to know at the end of the 24-days Campaign, how many days on average users interacted with the Advent calendar.



How can I achieve that using Tag Manager/Analytics?



I was thinking about placing a First Party Cookie with GTM the first time that the user land on the dedicated landing page and then use it in a Custom Segment to filter out the Frequency & Recency report on Google Analytics.



Would that work? Do you have a better idea on how to achieve that?

  • I guess my solution it's not accurate because I would not be able to make a distinction between Users that registered more session in a day and 1 session per day?

  • Is this an authenticated app? Will you know if a user's "opened" the prize for the day from the app?

  • What about creating a virtual page view for every day (e.g. "/advent/day1" )? Then you can create report for unique visitors and filter the pages they visited containing "/advent/" - would that give you information you are looking for?... btw. not a great question for this forum, you should stay more on topic, check out: stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic
