@vln104 the link only talks about the kiosk form mode as a way to not use IP addresses to merge leads, when a form (with kiosk mode enabled) is filled. What I found most annoying is that mautic automatically merges lead information even when unique lead fields are present. Suppose there is lead A with email [a@lead.com](mailto:a@lead.com) and lead B with email [b@lead.com](mailto:b@lead.com). And that I have a landing page that uses pixel tracking (mtracking.gif) to capture some relevant lead information in a way that email is used to identify leads (e.g. http://\/mtracking.gif?email=[lead@email](mailto:lead@email)&=). If both leads access this landing page with the same IP address (e.g. leads access from the same office space/router) and tracking pixel is called as I suggested in my example; then Mautic will merge lead A with B - which is something it shouldn’t do. Anyone knows a way to disable IP merge in this case (via tracking pixel, or disable IP merge at all)? Thanks in advance. ---

Apparently there is a thread that is dedicated to the case that I previously reported: [https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/891-using-mautic-in-mobile-app/p1](https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/891-using-mautic-in-mobile-app/p1) ---

Hi @vascoas, it just clicked that you are not using Mautic forms to capture the lead details. I haven’t used the tracking pixel to track pages elsewhere so couldn’t share any experience with you. Hopefully someone else will help. Linh ---
