Can websites get your personal information?
Most websites collect some combination of these four types of personal data. For example, when you purchase on Amazon, they collect your contact information, financial information, and behavioral information. When you sign up for a new email account with Gmail, they collect your contact and demographic information.
Can websites see what you look at?
A website can track which of its own webpages a user has visited, which probably isn't too surprising. However, a website can also track a user's browsing history across other websites by using third-party cookies, as long as each site loads the cookie from the same domain.
Can a website know your identity?
Even if you are connected to a Wifi network, websites can still identify you as a unique device. This is done through data stored in your browser, which we call cookies. These are small packets of data that are stored in your device's memory.
Can a website owner see your IP address?
Every web user has an IP address – it's given to you by your internet service provider, and every device on your home network shares the same unique IP address. Pro tip: To find your IP address, simply Google 'my ip. ' When you access a website, that website can see your IP address.
Can a website spy on me?

Can someone see what I am Googling?
Internet providers can see everything you do on the internet. The only way to defend against this is by encrypting your data. Solutions like VPNs, HTTPS proxies, and the Tor browser can help you protect your data.
Can someone see my Internet history if I use their WiFi with VPN?
VPNs establish a protected connection, meaning no one can see what you are doing. So, for example, a WiFi router or Internet service provider only sees jumbled data when you're browsing on a VPN.
Can the police see your browser history?
While police do not actively monitor Google searches, they are able to obtain a warrant for your search history if they have probable cause to do so.
Can you get tracked by a website?

Can websites track your email address?

Can I change my IP address?
Changing your IP address is easy, safe and legal. Even without a user-friendly virtual private network, it's still easy to change your IP address. Whether you're a MacOS and iPhone user or a Windows 11 user with an Android device, any first-timer can safely change their IP address in a few quick steps.
Do websites keep IP logs forever?
Most web server are configures to only keep a rolling amount of logs - traditionally this was 30 days, but cheaper storage means some extend it. That's generally long enough to find and fix issues.
Can a website see your screen without permission?
So, in this sense, the answer is no; websites cant detect user activities like screen capture. However, if the website has you download some software and install it, it can most probably recognize external screen capture tools being used on their web pages (if they want to).
Can my parents see what I look at online?
Your parents wouldn't be able to see the history of your internet via the WiFi router by default. They'll be able to see it if they access your devices, if they contact your service provider, and if they decide to use software to track and monitor your usage.

Can my parents see what I search on incognito?

Can my parents see my deleted search history?
No. The only way they can see whats on your phone is through apps they put on your phone and if you see one on there just delete it. For a pc or laptop you just have to check task manager and also see if there is any unwanted apps on there. How can I hide and unhide my browsing history?
