Simply move the authentication rule one step above: rather than using
"/project/login" for the authentication rule in your Apache config
file, use "/project"

Preferences work for all anonymous users, as they are tracked with a
cookie on the client machine. In other words, there's no unique
"anonymous" user: each anonymous user does not share his preferences
with other anonymous users.
Anyway with the above trick, you won't have any anonymous anymore, so
this point won't apply anymore.

If you're using HTTP authentication, logout is not effective, the user
needs to close his browser or use a HTTP authentication clear feature
(availble in Firefox among others)
