Can websites see my exact location?

No. Websites can typically only see your approximate location (City/Country) based on your IP address. Exact GPS location requires your explicit permission.

Can websites see my real name?

No. Your real name, address, and phone number are not transmitted by your browser unless you type them into a form or are logged into a specific service.

❓ Why can websites see this?

It's not magic, it's how the internet works. When you visit a website, your browser sends a request to the server. Included in that request are "headers"—bits of information like your IP address (so the server knows where to send the page back) and your User-Agent (so the server sends the desktop version instead of mobile).

Other details, like your screen size and time zone, are detected using JavaScript to make the website look and function correctly on your specific device. While this data is necessary for functionality, it can also be combined to create a "fingerprint" of your device.

📊 IP vs Cookies vs Fingerprinting

Method	How it works	Can you block it?
IP Address	Network address assigned by your ISP. Required for connection.	Yes, use a VPN.
Cookies	Small text files saved on your device to remember login/prefs.	Yes, clear cookies or use Incognito.
Fingerprinting	Combining screen, GPU, font, and version data to identify you.	Hard. Use privacy browsers (Brave/Tor).
