Pseudonymous, not anonymous. It's only anonymous while you take steps to make it so, and only until you make a tiny mistake.

Monero is close to anonymous by default. You generate wallet, and send money there. While this first step can be tracked, you can just transfer the XMR from the first wallet to a new one. This time, no one can see your transactions or associate this address with you (unless you, for example, publish it next to your name).
