Geolocation


Geolocation Meaning


Geolocation is the identification or estimation of the real-world geographic location of an object, such as a radar source, mobile phone, or Internet-connected computer terminal.


How does geolocation work on browser?


IP Geolocation
Your position is determined based on databases of lookup tables which map IP addresses to locations. The accuracy is typically based on a database which will only return location data accurate to a City or an area within a City. At its most precise though, an IP address can be mapped to a house






Geolocation purpose :


Geolocation makes it possible, from any device connected to the Internet, to obtain all types of information in real time and locate the user with pinpoint accuracy at a given point in time. Geolocation technology is the foundation for location-positioning services and location-aware applications (apps). With the number of smartphone users expected to reach 2.66 billion by 2019 and more than 2 million apps available in both the Android and iPhone markets, the prevalence of geolocation technology will only continue to increase.

Cross Site Tracking


Meaning :

It's exactly what it sounds like: cross-site tracking generally refers to companies collecting browsing data across multiple websites. ... But often, that data also ends up being used behind the scenes to target advertising or create user profiles.


The new Intelligent Tracking Prevention feature detects and eliminates cookies and other data used for this cross-site tracking, which means it helps keep a person's browsing private. The feature does not block ads or interfere with legitimate tracking on the sites that people actually click on and visit.

No matter what it’s called, a computer cookie consists of information. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser. (To help you find it, this file is often called “Cookies.”)

Cookies are messages that web servers pass to your web browser when you visit Internet sites. Your browser stores each message in a small file, called cookie. txt . When you request another page from the server, your browser sends the cookie back to the server.

VPN






VPN Definition :


A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that is constructed using public wires — usually the Internet — to connect remote users or regional offices to a company's private, internal network.

A VPN is a private network that uses a public network (usually the internet) to connect remote sites or users together. The VPN uses "virtual" connections routed through the internet from the business's private network or a third-party VPN service to the remote site or person.


Why Use A VPN ?


A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a great tool to protect your privacy and increase your security on the Internet. It basically connects two computers securely and privately on the internet. A VPN is designed to provide a secure, encrypted tunnel to transmit the data between the remote user and the company network


Does My ISP Know I am Using A VPN ?


While using a VPN, your ISP cannot decipher the contents of your internet traffic nor can it figure out where your traffic is traveling to or from. That means your ISP cannot see what sites you visit or anything you do while connected. It can only see that encrypted data is traveling to a server.
