Is this considered cheating (in daily games)?

I was exploring openings with Lichess' analysis board (with the computer analysis turned off). Hence, I can only move the pieces around and see the win/draw/loss ratio of different variations. I kept clicking through variations until there is only one game which includes that variation. I clicked on the game and I was redirected to another page showing the game. The computer analysis was still turned off, but it gave an evaluation of the position which involves the variation I mentioned earlier (I totally did not expect this because I have already turned off the computer analysis). The evaluation is only for that particular position (the computer does not evaluate the lines that stem from that position). The evaluation was +1.8 (which favored my opponent). However, I still intend to play this variation. Is this considered cheating (in daily games)? I have learnt not to click on games while using the Lichess database.
