Re: Can eBay log your IP if your not signed in? Quote:

I hope it's clear enough all that | >>>browse ebay not logged in that IP might get linked with the current cookies on that profile
What about the sign-in page being open? I was logged out of eBay, there was no browsing, just the sign-in page was open which I quickly closed.
Any chance of linking there? Does the sign-in page being open allow them to see my cookies or do you have to actually log-in or do some browsing before they can start seeing or tracking cookies?
I would think just the sign-in page being opened should not be a cause for alarm...
