You think that using a VPN is protecting you from the website you’re connecting to logging that traffic?
It is logging the traffic. It just prevents it from collecting my personal information in that log and sharing it with all of their data mining buddies.
The only thing they don’t see is your home IP address. That’s not even a useful piece of information for tracking someone.
I don't even know how to respond to that, other than of course it is...
Websites track you through cookies and etags, and VPNs do not block those.
You assume that I'm not also blocking those things.
If they did, you wouldn’t be able to log into any websites
Do you not understand the difference between first and third-party cookies?
