Questions tagged [anonymous-users]

Questions involving this tag should cover topics related to identifying a user for the purpose access control in relation to a product or service that may span multiple sessions over an indefinite period of time. Such a user could be either an individual person or some implementation of a system, such as an API client.

An anonymous user may be:

  • accessing an installed or web-based application as part of a trial
  • accessing an installed or web-based application for the purposes of secrecy
  • associated with a usage quota for abuse prevention
  • granted temporary/guest access to edit or view a resource

Questions related to identifying a user for the purpose of advertising or analytics are considered off-topic for this tag. Depending on the context, questions regarding strategies to deanonymize a user may also be considered off-topic (such as deanonymizing a Sign in with Apple user).

Web-based anonymous access is often associated with methods of storing user identifiers and tokens such as:
