Visitor ID logic wrong
Beantwortetwhy use Visitor ID based on cache/Cookie.
Simple logic, IF visitor is same , then ID is same, its not related whether cache deleted or not.
once people visit generate its id and store in database.
Please Tell IT team ...
don't use cache/cookie method and do not generate new ID for same Visitor.
all previous visit and previous chat for same visitor must kept as it is even i delete cache or cookie.
in the snapshot second visitor showing zero previous chat and zero previous visit , but this visitor comes four-five times , but showing dash, dash , how is this.
similarly , in first visitor previous chat not counting.

Hi JISL,
Associating by just name for non-authenticated visitors is not secure and therefore is why we assume identity based on the ID stored in the browser cookie. This is an industry practice when handling non-identified visitor traffic and we have no plans on changing this behaviour.
You can choose to authenticate visitors if you know their information in your own frontend and the numbers in the dashboard will be based on the external id that you set.
You can learn more about authenticated visitors here: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022185594-Enabling-authenticated-visitors-in-the-integrated-Web-Widget
Thanks,

but why their ID changing, due to this we are confusing and not getting previous chat and visit count perfect.
if visitor coming second, third time then this should fetch from database
-
The numerical ID can change if they are not saving the browser cookies and it gets reset each time. It also happens when visitors change devices (from phone to PC) or even changing browsers within the same device.
-
you can make reference data, from where refer same device.
changing browser or device id is change, is normal thing.
BUT SAME DEVICE, SAME BROWSER -- ID SHOULD BE SAME.

That is true if the cookie value remains constant. Like I mentioned, this behaviour is not changing and will be closing this thread because it is no longer a productive conversation.
