I have a quick privacy query – when looking at my own profile just now, I noticed there is a "Recent Profile Visitors" section. I can see that I also show on other users' profiles as having been a recent visitor. Does this mean that anyone whose profile I have viewed will see me in this list on their own profile? If so, is there a way to disable this at all (I don't mind if it also works in reverse, i.e. the same way as LinkedIn does)? Do users whose profiles I visit get any sort of notification to say I have visited their profile? If there is a way to disable, will it remove profile views already made? I did have a quick flick through your FAQs, but couldn't find anything that mentions it.

Can someone help us understand if there are any settings that can control this ? 

For context, here's how it shows up when I click on my Profile Details Page:

Click on the x in the top right of that block 🙂

To not show on your own profile page - the above.

Not 100% sure that there is a specific setting a user can enable to not show themselves on other profiles, outside of going anonymous.

There isnt. You are indeed correct that you would have to be anonymous in order to not show on other peoples profiles

Thanks all - we'll take a look at these options.
