“Session duration” goal
This goal type allows you to track sessions that exceed a specific duration.
Session duration is the time difference between the first and last event a user triggers on the site. The first event is always the loading of the tag on the page. The last event can be a pageview, an external link click, a file download, a conversion, a non-bounce event, or a parameter submission.
