When I visit a web site that collects visitor statistics - I
understand they can see my IP which will tell them I am a Verizon
customer with a Mac/Intel operating system, the area where I may live,
what browser I use, if I'm new to the site, and click information on
the site- but can the site collect the following information:
- My computer name (the name I assigned to my computer)?
- Profile information???
- My browsing history (any/all sites I've visited and when) or can
they just tell the number of items in my history?
- Email addresses associated with my computer?
I've reviewed similar questions but I'm not sure I truly understand
what information a web-server can collect from my
connection/browser.
