My Mautic version is: 2.15.3  
My PHP version is: 7.2.26

After having installed mautic (deploying the bitnami AMI on my AWS) I start to get a lot of anonymous contacts.  
Please help me to resolve this issue.

I am also seeing a LOT of anonymous contacts that appear to be created by bots that are crawling my Installed Mautic on AWS. it’s really weird. Can I disable that form happening? I would only want to create anonymous contacts from my landing pages or webpages with the tracking code. This screenshot may help show the issue.
