Web SDK by itself doesn't determine when a visit starts. Web SDK is only a method for sending data from your website to Adobe's endpoints. It is Adobe Analytics itself that determines when a visit starts, and that is documented at https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/components/metrics/visits.html?lang=en#how-this-metric-is-calculated

Having said that...

A visit does depend on when a unique visitor is identified. And in Adobe, unique visitors are primarily identified with cookies. You can read more about the methodology used by Web SDK at https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/edge/identity/overview.html?lang=en

Hope that helps to answer your questions.
