traces you leave when surfing the Internet? How can I delete them? Many people wonder determines what information they transmit when they visit a website.
- I P Address:  |
| leaving any trace ... |
This can be clearly assigned. If the police know for example that someone with the IP address 79.104.121.76 visited on 02/03/2011 at 18:33 a page, it can find in any prosecution exactly who owns the Internet, was visited by the page. This IP address or ISP (Internet Service Provider, so the provider such as German Telekom AG is) then also have information on
- the ISP (which)
- The type of connection (eg broadband, with DSL)
- the type of IP (static / dynamic)
- a possible proxy to be used
- the host name that can arise, for example investigations of interest.
- Windows information: While visiting a website through the headphones still further. For example, information about the browser (like Firefox), the operating system (eg Windows XP, Apple iPhone, etc.), the Screen resolution (eg 1280x1024) and much more, which, however, tend to be less interested.
- information about the location: You may or may not see exactly what country (95-99% accuracy) and what region / city (at about 50-80% accuracy) a visitor's own website does. Where do you come probably, I can say right here: From , . And while in or near .
lot of information about their own whereabouts, this page

cookies transmit information indirectly. If is not set in the browser cookies to be deleted in time, they remain on the computer. Thus, in a second example of a site visit can be found that they have been here before. And maybe have already bought something from or written to a forum. Even if you have a different IP address, identifies the cookie in the browser you!
A question remains: What do I guarantee that someone can not determine whether I have visited his site, for example, a few minutes?
Well, first, the IP will be changed. This works for example with Firefox and a couple Fritz! DSL modem with the "Fox! Box. Alternatively, the modem can be easily removed from the electrical short that it is re-connects with the ISP and you will be assigned a new IP.
But one problem remains: In this type of IP change, this usually changed only slightly, is from 79.104.121.76 79.104.123.45 maybe is just because the suspect has then suggested that perhaps the same person is back again. In addition, an investigation delivers to the origin of the IP address again so probably the same city. can really help because then only one proxy
, where it often flash content, Java scripts and other page elements are displayed incorrectly or not at all and also the side structure often is very slow. A good way to disguise your own IP address is
Hotspot Shield , about which I already reported, which assigns to a an American IP.
must Secondly, all cookies are deleted. It is the simple in the settings of the browser, or alternatively, one uses a different browser with which one has not visited the page. Cookies can also view in the browser and delete individually if you know how. A look at the settings or instructions that might help
