**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: v5.1  
My PHP version is: 8.2.20  
My Database type and version is: pdo\_mysql, v8.0.30

**Your problem**  
In v5, there’s a _lot_ of “Contacts Created” and “Page Visits”, even though I haven’t created any contacts and haven’t enabled the “Page Visitor tracker”.

I’d consider it a bug that they’re created in the first place, as I don’t really get how they’re created? It may be web scrapers, as I get a lot from a bunch of weird websites like “[https://naturebunn.com](https://naturebunn.com)” - but they must hit our Mautic URL, as we - again - don’t have any trackers on our main site.

Can we disable tracking of “anonymous contacts”, or at least stop them from being shown in the Dashboard?
