> anonymous users

I think you mean users who are not logged in - "anonymous users" is the term we 
use for accounts with `user.data_public == false`. They are quite rare now 
since [they haven't been permitted for a long 
time](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Anonymous_edits).

As for preferences, I'm happy keeping most preferences available for only 
logged in users, since account creation is free and we aim to serve our mappers 
(who by definition have accounts) more than just casual visitors. Storing 
preferences in cookies does have drawbacks (like cross-device consistency, 
automatic cookie expiry etc) so it's not my first choice in general.
