Transparency is key to understanding the information you give away each time you visit a website (your digital footprint), and it’s our mission to empower users by helping them understand that footprint along with security risks before it’s too late!
Each website you visit sees the information shown below, which may be used to identify or profile you. Every computer connected to the internet leaves a footprint of some type; what you’re looking for is anything that might identify you personally or make your setup uniquely recognizable.
We are not doing anything special here – we are simply reading the information your computer is providing about you and displaying it back in a form you can understand. Below is your footprint as we see it right now on AuditMyPC.com:
Your IP: 3.41.188.34
Your operating system: an unidentified operating system
Your browser: an unidentified browser
Your language setting: en-US
Your full user agent string:
CCBot/2.0 (https://commoncrawl.org/faq/)
That user agent string deserves a closer look: combined with your screen size, installed fonts, time zone, and other details that JavaScript can read, it can form a “fingerprint” that identifies your browser even without cookies. This is how many trackers follow users who block or clear cookies.
Your IP address also places you on the map: geolocation databases map IP addresses to a city and region, which is why websites often know roughly where you are without asking. The location they see is where your IP address connects to the internet – often your provider’s equipment – which may not be anywhere near your home. Either way, it narrows you down far more than most people expect.
