Visitor settings
A visitor is anyone using your site without logging in. Open Components → JS Jobs → Configurations and click Visitor Settings in the list on the left. This section is part of the same page as General, so Save Configurations saves both.

Settings marked (Pro) belong to features of JS Jobs Pro.
