How recognisable you are

The more unique details you combine, the easier you are to single out among millions of visitors. This is a rough estimate, not an exact measure.

Network and location

IP address 2600:1f28:365:80b0:f0e9:7ad5:d2b6:f3e8
Your identifier on the Internet, assigned by your provider. Every site you visit sees it.
Connection type datacenter
Whether you browse from a home line, a company, a datacenter or behind a VPN.
Estimated location 🇺🇸 Ashburn, Virginia, US
Derived from the IP: usually the provider’s city, not your exact position.
Provider / network Amazon.com, Inc.
The operator providing your connection, inferred from the IP.
Host name (reverse DNS) not available
The technical name your provider associates with your IP.
Referring page not available
The site you came here from, if it disclosed it.

Device and browser

Browser Unknown
The program you browse with and its version.
Operating system Unknown
Your device’s system.
Device type Desktop
Computer, phone or tablet, inferred from the browser.
User agent CCBot/2.0 (https://commoncrawl.org/faq/)
The full “ID card” your browser sends to every site.
CPU cores …
Number of logical processors available to the browser.
Memory (approx.) …
Rough estimate of device RAM exposed by the browser.
Touch screen …
Whether the device has a touch screen.

Screen and window

Screen resolution …
Your screen size in pixels.
Browser window …
The visible page area, useful to tell desktop from mobile.
Pixel ratio …
Physical-to-logical pixel ratio (Retina/HiDPI screens).
Colour depth …
Bits per colour of your screen.

Preferences and privacy

Preferred languages en-US,en;q=0.5
The languages set in your browser, sent to every site.
Time zone …
Your device’s time zone: roughly reveals which part of the world you are in.
Cookies enabled …
Whether your browser accepts cookies.
Cookies for this site …
All cookies this domain receives from your browser. “JS” = also readable by JavaScript, “HttpOnly” = server only, “analytics/marketing” = recognised as a tracking cookie. A site CANNOT see cookies from other sites (third-party trackers live on their own domains).
Do Not Track not available
The “do not track me” request. Sites may ignore it.
Global Privacy Control not available
A legal “do not sell my data” signal, honoured in some jurisdictions.

Fingerprint

Canvas fingerprint …
A code derived from how your device draws graphics: often nearly unique.
Graphics card (WebGL) …
Your GPU model, exposed by the browser for 3D graphics.
Overall fingerprint …
A code summarising the traits above: if it stays stable, it can recognise you without cookies.

Privacy

🔒 This page neither stores nor sends your data: the IP address and approximate location are computed by the server only to show them to you, everything else is read by your browser and stays on your device. It is a demonstration, not a data-collection service.

What an IP address is

The IP address is the number identifying your connection on the Internet, assigned by your provider. Every site you open receives it: without it, it would not know where to reply.

On its own it does not reveal your name, but it exposes the provider and, roughly, the area you browse from. The provider does know who it was assigned to at a given time: that is why the IP is the first thing requested in investigations.

The browser fingerprint

Even without cookies, the combination of browser, system, screen, languages, time zone and graphics card is often nearly unique. By putting these details together, a site can recognise you among millions of visitors: this is browser fingerprinting.

The canvas and WebGL fingerprints above are the most effective example: they exploit tiny differences in how your hardware draws graphics and text.

How to reduce your exposure

  • Use a privacy-focused browser and its anti-fingerprinting protections.
  • A VPN hides your real IP, but not your browser fingerprint.
  • Keep your browser and system updated.
  • Enable Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control, keeping in mind not all sites honour them.

IP, VPN and anonymity

Hiding your IP is not the same as being anonymous. A VPN moves the apparent origin of the connection, but browser, cookies and fingerprint stay the same, and the VPN operator still sees your traffic.

Solid privacy needs several measures together: it is one of the topics I offer consulting on.

Frequently asked questions

Your public IP is shown at the top of this page, along with the provider and approximate location derived from it. It is the address every site you visit can see.

No. The IP usually reveals the provider’s city, not your street. Precise location requires GPS permission, which the browser asks for explicitly.

It is the set of traits of your device (browser, screen, languages, graphics card…) that, combined, make you recognisable even without cookies. This page shows you an example.

No. IP and location are computed by the server only to display them; everything else is read by the browser and stays on your device. Nothing is logged.

It hides your real IP, but not your browser fingerprint or cookies. It is partial protection, not anonymity.
