How Do We Know Website Location?

How does a website know your zip code or location?

  • Answer:

    You've been there before A web site cannot determine your zip code or location from your computer. Your IP address can indicate only the country in which you reside. If the site already has data on you, it's because you've been to the site already. I disagree with the above answer. I just visited this website: www.localpages.com. I have never been there before and when the page loaded, it already entered my city in the appropriate field and I do not have any type of 'auto-fill' selected on my browsers.
