setAnonymizationState

The setAnonymizationState() method marks a user as anonymous or non-anonymous. If set to anonymous, the user’s IP address, location information (only the country is known), user ID and device ID are not collected. Every time the application is started, a new visitor ID is generated for anonymous users.

The setAnonymizationState(true) is set by default. This means that each user is anonymous by default.

Syntax

(application as PiwikApplication).tracker.setAnonymizationState(isAnonymous)

((PiwikApplication) getApplication()).getTracker().setAnonymizationState(isAnonymous);

Parameters

isAnonymous (boolean, required)

Whether a user is anonymous or non-anonymous.

• true if the user is anonymous
• false if the user isn’t anonymous

Examples

To mark a visitor as non-anonymous:

(application as PiwikApplication).tracker.setAnonymizationState(false)

((PiwikApplication) getApplication()).getTracker().setAnonymizationState(false);
