What is anonymous website visitor identification?

Most visitors to an ecommerce site never log in or fill in a form. They browse, add to basket and leave, and your analytics only sees a session. Anonymous visitor identification recognises who that shopper is, so the visit stops being a number and becomes someone you can serve and contact.

B2B visitor identification

Looks up the company behind an IP address so a sales team can call the account. It tells you which business visited, not which person.

How SaleCycle identifies anonymous visitors

Install one master tag

Add the tag directly or through Google Tag Manager. It starts collecting behavioural and device signals on every page.

Resolve the identity

The Data Engine matches those signals with first-party data you already hold, such as your CRM and email lists, to recognise the shopper behind the session.

Build one profile

Each visit adds to a single profile, so a shopper who browses on mobile and comes back on desktop is recognised as the same person.

Frequently asked questions

How do you identify anonymous website visitors?

By matching what a visitor does on your site with first-party data you already hold. SaleCycle does this from one master tag and recognises up to 70% of anonymous ecommerce traffic.

How does anonymous visitor tracking work?

A tag collects behavioural and device signals, the Data Engine matches them with your first-party data, and each visit is added to one shopper profile.

Is anonymous visitor tracking legal under GDPR?

Yes, when it relies on first-party data and respects each visitor's consent choice. SaleCycle is GDPR and CNIL compliant and ISO 27001 certified.

How is this different from B2B visitor identification?

B2B tools identify the company behind an IP address. Ecommerce visitor identification recognises the individual shopper, so you can personalise their visit and follow up after they leave.

Can it connect to my CRM?

Yes. SaleCycle connects to CRM and marketing platforms including Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot and Adobe.

How long does it take to set up?

Most sites are live in weeks, with our expert team alongside you from installation to the first results.
