YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

Your browser identifies itself to every server it talks to. This is how websites decide what code to send you.

Screen dimensions and color capabilities help sites render correctly — but also help identify your specific device.

JavaScript can detect your CPU cores, memory, and GPU without asking. Combined, these create a hardware "fingerprint."

Your connection type and online status are freely accessible. Your IP address is visible to every server.

Your IP address reveals your approximate location without any permission prompt. This is a free API lookup — no GPS involved.

Websites can draw invisible images and generate silent audio, then hash the output. Tiny rendering differences between devices create a unique "fingerprint" — even without cookies.

Sites can check what features your browser supports and what storage mechanisms are available.

Websites know where you came from, what page you're on, and basic timing info.
