Can Ebay or PP Cookies track my IP when I am not on their sites?
 
Hi, I know eBay and Paypal record my IP when I access their websites, so of course I always change IP's for my different accounts.

But can they track my IP just through using the same browser which they have saved their cookies etc on.

For example if I log out of eBay and paypal are they still tracking my IP while I am using that browse?

Because currently as soon as I log out of eBay and paypal I kill that browser process (chrome) completely and then log in to Safari to change my IP address on my router. This is out of fear that unless I kill the chrome browser completely they may be tracking me in the background!

Thanks

No they can only really track you when your on their actual website or websites they own and you load something

Idk. I was logged into Facebook and opened up ebay didn't log in and searched a product. Next day I log into Facebook and see ebay ads and what I looked at on ebay with similar items. Not exactly tracking probably target ads.

Thanks for your answers.

Not really understanding how cookies work, I can't help but worry that somehow they are doing something in the background when my browser is open.

I should probably try and properly read up on how cookies work to stop myself worrying about ebay tracking my IP addresses.

best to keep your normal browsing traffic completely separate

keep ebay/paypal activities in its own user profile, with its own IP

When you log out, they don't track your cookies like JamesN stated - if you are unsure, just browse on different user account
