You've not said why you think you can't set it (can't find the option, can't see it where it should be, large penguin sitting on your keyboard...), so here's a brief overview to cover most of the reasons you might fail:

To enable anonymous access, you need to enable it

  1. Globally - Admin -> global permissions -> anonymous access tab
  2. For each space after global is enabled:  Space Admin -> Permissions -> look to the bottom for the anonymous section (which won't work unless the global setting is enabled)

Now two quirks:

  • The global anonymous setting will be greyed out if you are on the free version of Confluence.  It is a function of a paid subscription only.
  • The global anonymous tab will vanish if you have enabled Public links 

That should cover can't find/can't see.  (I can't tell you more about the penguin, I don't know if he's one of my friends)
