# How to Exclude Your Own Visits from Analytics Exclude your own visits from analytics by setting a flag in your browser’s local storage. Follow the steps below. ## Steps to Exclude Your Own Visits: 1. Open your website in your browser. 2. Open the Developer Console: * Press `F12` or `Ctrl + Shift + I` (or `Cmd + Option + I` on Mac) 3. This will open the **Developer Tools**. Navigate to the **Console** tab. 4. If you're in a different tab like "Network" or "Elements," click on "Console" to switch.  5. In the Console, paste the following line of code and hit **Enter**: ```javascript localStorage.setItem('umami.disabled', 'true') ``` 1. Refresh the page. Your visits will now be excluded from tracking on that browser. *** **Note:** * This setting only applies to the specific browser and device where it was set. * If you use a different browser or device, repeat these steps there. * This is especially helpful for internal team visits, QA testing, or development environments.
