Behavioral data is information that is collected from users that interact with applications on devices like PC, tablet or smartphone. The data can include which pages and sites a user visits, which links are clicked on , email signups, length of time on a page, frequency of visits to a site, the time of visit, the device used to access the site, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behavioral data can be useful to marketers to optimize their site for conversion, engagement and retention. Behavioral segmentation<\/a> allows businesses to categorize users into groups based on how they interact with the company or brand.
