When I go a to a website, what sort of information can that server collect about my identity, under normal circumstances? I knows they can track my IP address and operating system. What else is there?

By default, here is an idea of the things tracked by Google Analytics (the free one). This is a very non-exhaustive list and only scrape the surface:

  • Operating System (and version)
  • IP Address
  • Location (Easily down to the City, but really it could probably get down to a house if necessary).
  • Language
  • Browser type
  • Screen Resolution
  • ISP

There are various other things, depending on plugins, cookies, and so-forth. But that gets you a basic start.
