How can a Web site get my browser information?
The Browser Privacy settings prevent your browser from
sending browser information. However, some diagnostic
sites on the Internet might report browser information
even though the Browser Privacy settings are blocking it.
If you are blocking Java, ActiveX, or scripts, the site
might be using one of these methods to retrieve the
information. Sometimes when Web servers do not get the
information from the browser, they use the last piece of
browser information that they received instead. You
might see the information from the last person who
viewed the site.
Privacy Control filters cookies by removing them from
the responses your computer sends to Web sites. Some
sites display information about your browser by using
JavaScripts that run within the browser and do not
communicate with the Web site. Since the JavaScript
runs entirely locally, the Web site does not have access to
that information.
