What Information Do Web Sites Know About You?
If you’ve ever wondered what kind of information your computer gives out every time you visit a website, then you may find this interesting.
Every time you visit a website like ebcak.com, your IP and other browsing related information is automatically cached by the web site’s server, allowing webmasters to see many details about you, like the country of origin, and often the city as well, among other things.
If you are interested in knowing what kind of information you are revealing to the website owner, there are a few sites out there that will share that information with you.
A cool site that will shed some light into these details is whatsmyip.org.
Just navigate to whatsmyip.org and click on the More Info About You link on the left menu. You will be surprised how much information your computer is revealing.
