Hi Imar,

The text seems to be indicating that anonymous users can only be identified if they allow cookies in their browser. What do we do if they block cookies?

Isn't there a way for us to pull in the IP address of the page request so we can at least log the IP that the page request comes from? Does the IP request also include a username for that IP or would we only be able to log the IP and not be able to differentiate between users at that IP.

How can we do that?

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan,

Not much. The anonymous feature depends on cookies....

Yes, you can retrieve and log the IP but it wouldn't tell you much and it wouldn't give you the user associated with it. Many corporate users share the same IP address so it won't be possible to distinguish between users.

Cheers,

Imar
