# Browsers, Unique

This metric shows how many different web browsers were used.

| ## Short Facts |
| --- |
| - counts the number of elements of the dimension "End device Visitor Ids" ([count metric](/v1/docs/what-is-the-auto-scope-of-a-specific-dimension-or-metric-in-the-filter-engine)) - [Standard scope](/v1/docs/what-is-the-auto-scope-of-a-specific-dimension-or-metric-in-the-filter-engine): *Visits* - [Auto scope in the filter engine](/v1/docs/what-is-the-auto-scope-of-a-specific-dimension-or-metric-in-the-filter-engine): *Visitors* - is based on a cookie - If a user has deactivated cookies, Mapp Intelligence uses a [fingerprint method](/v1/docs/does-mapp-intelligence-use-a-fingerprint-method). |

The metric is calculated using cookies. A cookie is unique for each device and browser. If [User Centric Tracking](/v1/docs/user-centric-tracking-1-an-introduction) is deactivated, the metrics "Browsers, Unique" and "Visitors" are the same.

Depending on the analysis, a browser is counted once or once per time interval (e.g. day, week, month).

## Information on Cookie based Tracking

If a users accesses a website, a cookie with an ID is set. Based on this cookie the users is recognized in future accesses. In case the user deletes the cookies or uses different devices/browsers, a new cookie is set and the user is counted as new "Browsers, Unique".
