Every website you visit gets your IP #. It's how the web works. People who don't want to give their IP # to sites, won't be having a very enjoyable experience on the internet since their browser will never receive any webpages.

GFY has a cookie on my machine, and I'm sure they have my IP #. They could probably recreate my entire day on GFY if they wanted. Heck, they could probably get a list of every thread I read this week if they wanted, and see all the searches I did.

btw, the data will not show you were visiting child porn sites. It will show you did a search for something child porn related. People shouldn't be visiting child porn sites anyways.

I drive around in a car with a license plate on it. Anyone standing on the side of the road can write it down, not just people I interact with. It's one step from revealing who I am, yet I and millions of other people continue driving our cars.

This site is nothing but paranoid crap written by nutjobs who see scary stuff everywhere they look.
