    <summary>Configures anonymous identification for users that are not authenticated. This class cannot be inherited.</summary>

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection> class allows you to programmatically access and modify the `anonymousIdentification` element of a configuration file.

 The purpose of anonymous identification is to assign, at machine and application level, a unique identity to a non-authenticated user. This unique identity can then be used to track the user. Anonymous identification as used in this context does not have any relationship with the identity of the issuer of the Web request or with other security aspects related to the user; it simply assigns a unique identity for tracking purposes and user state management.

 Anonymous users are often tracked using the `Session` identifier. The main problems with this approach are the non-uniqueness of the identifier and the overhead involved in storing data to set a `Session` state value, which must be done in order to assign a session identifier to a user. Anonymous identification resolves these problems by providing a unique identifier for each non-authenticated user and not requiring the user to store any data to set the identifier.



## Examples
 The following example shows how to obtain the <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection> object from the underlying configuration file. You use this object to get or set the related configuration values.

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection.%23ctor%2A> constructor is not intended to be used directly from your code. It is called by the ASP.NET configuration system. You obtain an instance of the <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection> class by using the <xref:System.Configuration.Configuration.GetSection%2A> method.

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection.Cookieless%2A> property defines when a cookie should be used to maintain information about the user.

 When the <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection.Cookieless%2A> property is set to <xref:System.Web.HttpCookieMode.UseCookies>, the user's identifier is stored in a cookie. For more information, refer to <xref:System.Web.HttpCookieMode>.

> [!NOTE]
>  ASP.NET stores the user's anonymous identifier within the URI path (that is, it runs in cookieless mode) if the <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection.Cookieless%2A> property is set to one of the following values: <xref:System.Web.HttpCookieMode.UseUri>; <xref:System.Web.HttpCookieMode.UseDeviceProfile> when the browser profile indicates that cookies are not supported; or <xref:System.Web.HttpCookieMode.AutoDetect> when the auto-detection process determines that the browser does not support cookies. Finally, if the size of the URI and the anonymous identifier exceeds the allowed length, the anonymous identifier is not applied.

## Remarks
 To improve the protection of your cookie, you may want also set the <xref:System.Web.Configuration.AnonymousIdentificationSection.CookieRequireSSL%2A> property to `true`.

 Be sure to use the default value for this property if you want both data validation and encryption to help protect the cookie. This option uses the configured data-validation algorithm. Triple-DES (3DES) is used for encryption, if available and if the key is long enough (48 bytes or more).

## Remarks
 This attribute allows sharing of the anonymous identification cookie across domains that have a common DNS namespace (for example, all sites that end in "contoso.com"). The following requirements must be met in order for anonymous identification cookies to be shared:

-   Sites that want to share the cookie need to have common decryption and validation keys.

-   Other anonymous identification configuration attributes such as cookie path and cookie name must be the same for all the sites.

 For more information, refer to the <xref:System.Web.HttpCookie> class.
