The application shows a customized form for each user account and the user account name is needed to get user-specific configuration values from an SQL database.

My impression is that, when I hit Stack Overflow for the first time, it records my IP address as a user since I can ask a question without being logged in, in the traditional sense, but I'm still tracked.
