Result

FALSE

Changing IP removes one signal, not every way a site recognizes you.

No. A different IP address can make one tracking signal disappear, but websites can still connect visits through cookies, local storage, logged-in accounts, and browser fingerprinting. IP address is only one layer of recognition.

No. A different IP address can make one tracking signal disappear, but websites can still connect visits through cookies, local storage, logged-in accounts, and browser fingerprinting. IP address is only one layer of recognition.

Claim visual

Privacy claims have layers

A claim-context visual for privacy receipts. The cited proof trail below carries the evidence.

MDN Web DocsDefines fingerprinting as browser and operating-system traits, not just IP address.
Electronic Frontier FoundationShows how trackers can see unique browser characteristics.
FirefoxExplains that fingerprinting can work even if cookies are cleared or private browsing is used.

1

Fingerprinting is not just IP address

MDN describes fingerprinting as combining browser and operating-system traits to identify a browser or user.

2

Trackers look at many browser traits

EFF Cover Your Tracks shows that a browser can expose unique identifying characteristics even when users take protective steps.

3

Logins and storage survive the IP change

If you stay signed in or keep site data, the website can associate activity with the same account or browser state.
