The same-origin policy prevents tracking an application for the same session in which pages load from both local (`file://`) and remote (`http(s)://`).

This means that an application that uses Electron to embed a landing page, then later redirects the user to a website hosted on the Internet results in two sessions being created for that user - one for the embedded local files (`file://`) landing part of the application, and one for the remote part (`https://` files available on the internet).
**Note**: Unminified stack traces are not available when monitoring Electron applications that load embedded local files where stack traces start with `file://`. To obtain unminified stack traces in this scenario, you must manually overwrite them using the [`beforeSend()` callback][5]. For further assistance, contact the [Datadog Support team][6].

### Short-lived sessions for instances with multiple windows at once
An issue with local storage replication latency between windows can cause a short-lived session to be created (<1 second). To work around this, ensure multiple windows are created and initialized with a gap of more than 10 ms.
