# Logged-out visitor's views are showing but with no user identity

**What you are seeing**

A logged-out visitor's views are showing but with no user identity.

---

## Why it happens

This is by design. Logged-out readers are recorded with the account dimension set to "anonymous" and deliberately no Google user id, so they are not all merged into one person.

---

## What to do

Nothing to fix. Filter on the account dimension if you want to separate signed-in from anonymous traffic. If you did not want anonymous readers tracked at all, note there is no switch for that inside Confluence.
