The 'anchor' isn't passed as part of the request to the server so it won't appear in your logs for analysing.

A few browsers do pass anchor links to the server but as they only reflect a minority it does not help too much.

Most browsers will only request [mycompany...] from the server and use the #anchor locally.

[mycompany...] will only be sent to the server by some browsers.

When the browser does not request the anchor from the server it cannot be tracked.
