Every time you open a connection to a web server, a conversation takes place between your browser and computer, and the server you have reached.
This reports some of the information that is revealed (check on your anonymity): http://ipduh.com/anonymity-check/ . Note to Chrome browser users: think you are hiding anything by using an "incognito window" ? See for yourself. Go back and visit a second time - from the cookie left on your system, you are welcomed back with the count of how many visits.
Other tools on this site include a "geolocation" (where you are geographically) but might not work if you're on IPv6. An alternate geolocation tool is http://utrace.de (select English page unless you prefer German).
Other interesting aspects of what is revealed about you, and other tools, include:
* The AS (autonomous system number of which your IP address is a part) see the "/as" choices.
* IDN (internationalized domain names)
and
* IPv6 tools
