# Visit ID
A [Coveo Analytics](https://docs.coveo.com/en/182/) visit ID is a [GUID](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier) which is generated when a user accesses or returns to an interface that logs [Coveo Analytics data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/259/).
Visit IDs expire after 30 minutes of inactivity.

The visit ID is distinct from the [visitor ID](https://docs.coveo.com/en/273/), which can be manually specified and doesn't expire, and the [user ID](https://docs.coveo.com/en/268/), which is used to track [authenticated](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2120/) users and also doesn't expire.
