Creating Anonymous User Profiles

If a user visits your site and then registers within the same session, any data collected on that user is persisted in the account of the newly-registered user.

The Create Anonymous Profile parameter does not enable Anonymous Users to be tracked from one session to the next without registering. This would require the Tracked Anonymous User feature.

NOTE: This feature defaults to True.

Disabling the Create Anonymous Profile Feature

This feature is configured with the PortalServletFilter settings in the web.xml for the enterprise application.

To disable this feature, set the init-param node called createAnonymousProfile to False.

<init-param> <param-name>createAnonymousProfile</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value>
<description> Filter will create an anonymous profile for every session. Defaults to true if not set. </description>
</init-param>
