Recommended Implementation

If you track users, here’s how you can correctly implement the br_data.user_id parameter for various web user scenarios:

	Web User Scenarios	br_data.user_id Implementation
1.	User is a Guest (or Anonymous) user	Do not set `br_data.user_id` field or value. Alternatively set it to an empty string `br_data.user_id = ""`; Common mistake is to set "null" or "undefined".
2.	Guest user logs in i.e. becomes a Logged-in User	Always send the universal user ID. For instance:`br_data.user_id = "61WwurfPU9f9dB5"`; Avoid sending personally identifiable information such as a clear text email address or username.
3.	User logs out i.e. becomes a Guest user again	After logout, do not set br_data.user_id value, or set it to an empty string `br_data.user_id = ""`;

Note: When the user logs out, then the visit breaks.
