Hi @Marvin right now when sessions are captured we get a random session ID is it possible to pass user info?

Hi Shubham,

I suppose you mean the ID in the URL and not the session ID generated by us for reference (MzMxA3lx in this case)?

I would recommend using tags to attach a user ID. Please note that tracking identificable information in Pirsch requires consent. Although I don’t know the law in India, so you might be fine without asking for consent.

Tracking tags is really easy, you can learn more about that from our docs:

Yes, we are using tracking tags to capture PII and can filter the views & events via it but is there any way to show those tag data in session instead of MzMxA3lx which was generated by Pirsch?

Good point. We should show them on the sessions page. I’ll add that with the next update 👍
