When you load a webpage, your browser hands over more than just an IP. The site can stitch together a profile from data your browser, your network, and external databases all volunteer. Here's the complete list — and why it matters.

Directly from your IP

• Public IP address (IPv4, IPv6 if available)
• Country, region, city (from geolocation databases)
• ISP name and ASN (the network operator)
• Connection type — residential, mobile, datacenter, hosting
• Reputation flags — known VPN, Tor exit node, proxy, spam source

From your browser (alongside the IP)

• User-Agent — browser, version, OS
• Accepted languages and timezone
• Screen resolution, color depth, installed fonts
• WebGL renderer (GPU model, often unique)
• Canvas fingerprint (a unique hash of how your device renders)

The combination of the above creates a browser fingerprint that's unique enough to track you across sessions even without cookies.

From third-party trackers on the page

Most pages load 10–30 trackers (Google, Meta, ad networks). Each receives your IP and fingerprint plus the URL you're on, then correlates with their cross-site profile of you.

What gets logged forever

Server access logs typically retain IP + URL + User-Agent for 30–90 days minimum. Analytics platforms keep aggregated data for 14+ months. Ad networks build long-term behavioral profiles that outlive any single visit.
