Can Websites Access Your Real IP Through Browser Cookies While Using a VPN?

True, cookies don't store your IP addresses, but things like WebRTC can sometimes leak your real IP even when you’re connected to a VPN.

No, cookies usually don't keep your IP address directly. They primarily store unique IDs that link back to the website's server where they keep tracking information. So the actual IP is on their side, not stored in the cookie itself.

It's a mixed bag. Cookies can have various data, ranging from IDs to other information. They don't typically store your IP, but the site can access your IP connection history if it's saved on their end. So, if you're visiting the same site, they could cross-reference your data.

Cookies won't show your IP directly. They contain identifiers that the server uses, but when you’re on a VPN, they see the VPN IP, not yours. Just be cautious about WebRTC since it could reveal your real IP inadvertently.

You're right, cookies generally don’t hold your real IP. They just keep session tokens or identifiers linked to server records. But keep in mind, if a site has tracking services, they might still figure out your real IP through cross-referencing. Just blocking third-party cookies is a good practice to limit this.
