Cookie Policy
Effective Date: October 6, 2025
Website: https://whatsmyip.framer.website/
Owner: Whats My IP (“we”, “our”, “us”)
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains in full detail how Whats My IP uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. We believe in complete transparency about the data we collect and how it is used. Our website helps users around the world identify, understand, and analyze their IP addresses, network information, ISP details, and related online data.
As part of providing this service, we use certain cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. We may also use performance and advertising cookies—such as those placed by Google AdSense—to support the website’s free access model.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. You may choose to accept or reject cookies via our cookie banner at any time.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit—such as your preferred language, your session, or analytics information that helps improve site performance.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by Whats My IP) or “third-party” (set by services such as Google AdSense, Google Tag Manager, or analytics networks).
We also reference related technologies that function similarly, including local storage, pixels, web beacons, and tracking URLs. For simplicity, all of these technologies are referred to collectively as “cookies”.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into the following groups to help you understand their purpose:
a) Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential to the operation of our website. Without them, core features such as navigation, cookie preferences, and secure connections would not function correctly.
They do not store any personally identifiable information and are automatically enabled when you visit the site.
Examples:
Remembering your cookie-consent choice (accept/reject)
Maintaining server session integrity
Managing site security and load balancing
b) Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with the site, such as which pages are visited most often, or if users encounter errors. The data is aggregated and anonymous.
We use this information to improve page loading times, network performance, and overall usability.
If we ever integrate Google Analytics or similar services in the future, they will fall under this category. Currently, we do not use external analytics cookies.
c) Advertising and Monetization Cookies
As part of our business model, Whats My IP participates in the Google AdSense program and other possible ad networks. Advertising cookies help display relevant ads, measure their performance, and limit repetition.
They may collect anonymous data such as approximate location (city or country), browser type, or ad engagement metrics.
No personal identification (such as name, email, or address) is stored by Whats My IP.
d) Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering interface preferences or user settings. Since Whats My IP does not offer login functionality or user accounts, functionality cookies are limited to the language, region, and cookie-banner settings.
e) Third-Party Cookies
Our website may integrate external services to support essential operations, including:
Google AdSense for advertising
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for speed optimization
Cloud hosting platforms to ensure global availability
Each third-party provider manages its own cookies under separate privacy and cookie policies, which we link to below.
4. Third-Party Services and Providers
a) Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display relevant, non-intrusive ads.
AdSense may use cookies such as DoubleClick (IDE) or ANID to:
Serve targeted or contextual ads
Limit the number of times an ad is shown
Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
b) Hosting and Infrastructure
Our website is hosted on Framer, which may use session cookies or CDN cache cookies to ensure performance and uptime. These cookies are essential for site availability and speed optimization across different regions.
c) Future Integrations
If we expand our services—such as adding an API, IP lookup database, or VPN comparison tools—we may integrate other providers. Each integration will come with its own disclosure within this policy.
5. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be either:
Session Cookies, which expire when you close your browser; or
Persistent Cookies, which remain on your device for a set period (from a few minutes to several months).
For example, Google advertising cookies may persist for up to 13 months in the European Economic Area (EEA), in accordance with Google’s data-retention policies.
6. How to Manage Cookies

We ensure that all transfers comply with applicable data-protection laws and are based on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other legal mechanisms approved by regulators.

Regular security audits of hosting infrastructure
Minimization of personal data storage
No personal information such as IP lookup results, device identifiers, or browsing activity is permanently stored on our servers.
