Anchors are not part of a referer sent to external websites; also, it will not be logged in webserver logging since it's never sent to the server. Everything from # on is stripped off and stays on the client. The only way to interact with it, is via javascript.

"never sent to the server" It's sent in a separate request.

  That's because a request is manually created with javascript; this is not because it's part of the url. If you append #something to most random url's, nothing will happen (unless specific behaviour was written to do so).
