Hello there!

Perhaps I'm oversimplifying this due to my lack of technological knowledge and understanding, but ultimately my IP address is inaccessible and secure on this site, have I got that right? As in, nobody could go "Ah, that PM/post made 7 months was made by a user which had this IP address". 

Additionally, outside of this site, I take it privacy pretty much doesn't exist on the internet, hahaha! I always used to think 'odd, I was just thinking about that product, what a coincidence it came up in an ad'... But yikes, so google [i]has[/i] literally been tracking me to a limited extent to tempt me into buying something... Reminds me of https://youtu.be/YMPQdaq-qqk (20 second meme video, but scarily relevent).

Cheers.
