How can I discover if a link sent to me has an IP address tracker?

How can you know if the link someone sent you was to track your IP?

If the link is for a common site (eg http://www.google.com/) and there are no extra parameters on it; then it won’t help them link your IP to your email address.

If there are parameters on it(eg ?id=MN0ks93S&trk=98126), or the URL has a value encoded into it (eg http://some.site/interesting-article-name/MN0ks93S); then one of them may be unique to your email, in which case it is possible. But not certain that will use it to track your IP, but definitely technically doable. All websites know the public IP of all requests because that is part of TCP/IP protocol. What they do and don’t do with that is a different matter.

So for instance, a quora link I received by email like: https colon //www.quora.com/qemail/track_click?al_imp=eyJ0eXBlIjogMzMsICJoYXNoIjogIjEzNzQ2MjMxMjgwNjI3Nzg3NTl8N3wxfDY0NTEyMjk3In0%3D&al_pri=ReadMoreLinkClickthrough&aoid=32LaCuX4ZDB&aoty=1&aty=4&click_pos=7&ct=1528011250886612&et=2&id=143cc27f74fc4c2d991fbaee57e76539&request_id=1374623128062778759&source=1&src=1&st=1528011250886612&stories=1_a0lc9rmcvM6%7C1_Fu1zK4MQpxx%7C1_47ChVVBnEcr%7C1_8m0ek8NGqdP%7C1_9WtKF3Clte7%7C1_YQy3Bfy081A%7C1_32LaCuX4ZDB%7C1_3E7ufsDs31H%7C1_oWXgxaOt41S%7C1_aVAg4yhtPVr&ty=1&ty_data=32LaCuX4ZDB&uid=oF3zih4mmnW&v=0

If one of those characteristics is present; it could undoubtedly be used to link my IP address to my email address. [Note – this doesn’t mean quora does this, even though the name “track_click” suggests they do, it just means with so many parameters it could be done]

(Which is why clicking on SPAM email links because you are curious is a BAD idea – doing so confirms the email address is valid and so they send MORE SPAM).

  1. The same applies to images . A beacon image (1×1 transparent image or similar with a parameter encoded in the url) as part of a html email is a common way of tracking, unless your email reader doesn’t show images by default
  2. If you received the link by some other means than email, then they would only be able to confirm your IP address matches the method they used to send you the details. For example, if it is a Text message, then they could link your IP to your phone number. If they sent it as a physical card to a postal address, then that would link your IP to that postal address (assuming the link was actually tracking the IP and was unique to you).

    Although the most popular games are not available at this casino, you can still choose any game for the 120+ available. The attractive online games are located in the lobby and gamblers can choose over 20 5-reel or a plethora of 3-reel slots. Other games such as video poker are also available with few table games. After further examination of the mobile platform, we came to the conclusion that it lacks some online games but also found out that those available are good enough to provide the desired challenge and online entertainment.The mobile online casino promotions, along with bonus codes and banking are shown alongside the games and you can get bonuses like no deposit bonus codes or free spins. The casino doesn’t have any specific motto but if you’d ask us, we’d like to assign it the motto “Never Leave Miami Again”. Even though you won’t be able to fully enjoy the thrills and chills of Miami at the casino, there are plenty of online casino games that bring in the vibe of the land-based gaming and the bright lights in the background painting a vivid picture of the Miami City Vibe.

  2. Обикновено бонусите без депозит не са големи и най-често се срещат във вида на 10 лв бонус без депозит, 5 лв безплатен залог или 50 лв бонус. Тъй като конкуренцията в днешно време е много голяма, почти няма онлайн казино, което да не предлага начален бонус. Направи депозит от 2000 лв. и вземи 2000 лв. за сeкция СЛОТ. 2. След това направете депозит на стойност 10 лв и изберете Казино Бонус при регистрация. В случай на загуби, бонусите могат да ви помогнат да възстановите част от изгубените средства. Някои оператори предлагат бонуси за връщане на пари в случай на неуспешни залози или загуби през определен период. Това ви дава възможност да се възстановите от загубите и да продължите залагането.
