# Session metadata

Session metadata is information that is associated with a previous session. In the Cobrowse dashboard, it appears as follows:

![](https://support.cobrowse.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-16-2025-08-26-54-0755-AM.png?width=670&height=459&name=image-png-Jul-16-2025-08-26-54-0755-AM.png)

Session metadata can be downloaded by clicking the Download button in the top right of the screenshot. It can also be [downloaded programmatically](https://support.cobrowse.io/programmatically-download-session-recordings-and-device-metadata?hsLang=en), for example for large batch downloads.

The metadata is downloaded in .csv format and appears as follows:

This is in addition to any [custom data](https://docs.cobrowse.io/sdk-features/identify-your-devices) that you specify for your devices. 

You can parse this information into your analysis pipeline to create reporting and analytics.
