The study is titled: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/inria.hal.science\/hal-02435622\/document\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Don\u2019t count me out: On the relevance of IP addresses in the tracking ecosystem<\/a>\u201d and was conducted by Vikas Mishra, Pierre Laperdrix, Antoine Vastel, Walter Rudametkin, Romain Rouvoy, and Martin Lopatka. The paper will be formally presented at the Web Conference in Taipei, Taiwan later in April \u2013 the event will be online only.<\/p>\n<h2>IP address retention periods around the world average at 9.3<\/h2>\n<p>The study looked at tens of thousands of IP addresses from ten countries around the world:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Switzerland<\/li>\n<li>Canada<\/li>\n<li>India<\/li>\n<li>Netherlands<\/li>\n<li>Russia<\/li>\n<li>United Kingdom<\/li>\n<li>China<\/li>\n<li>France<\/li>\n<li>USA<\/li>\n<li>Germany<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the amount of IP address retention period varies between IP address assignments, the study found that 87% of users examined during the study had at least one IP address that was retained for more than 30 day. Of the ten countries, the study found that ISPs in the Netherlands showed the highest average IP address retention period at a whopping 36.96 days between IP address changes. Across the entire data set, the average IP address retention period was 9.3 days.<\/p>\n<h2>Why IP address retention periods matter for tracking and advertising<\/h2>\n<p>The paper\u2019s authors note:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFew browsers offer protections against IP address-based tracking techniques. Notably, the most popular browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge do not offer any.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Most internet users have a vague understanding that each of their internet connected devices have an IP address. A smaller percentage understand that ads are targeted at said IP address. It\u2019s hard to say what percentage of internet users know how often the IP address given by your ISP changes if you don\u2019t do anything, though. Ever wonder why once you search for some term, you start seeing ads for that term? The simplest ad tracking is by IP address; of course, there are even more specific and invasive types of fingerprinting being done that allow even more granular tracking of your internet activity, but this study emphasizes that targeting just by IP address is still both viable and commonplace.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s possible to do something manual like resetting your router to get assigned a new IP address. That isn\u2019t a way to protect your privacy, though, as your ISP still knows it is you behind the new IP address, and they\u2019re still building an advertising profile on you \u2013 their paying customer \u2013 based on your internet history to sell to third party marketing firms. This is something that has been allowed by the government in the United States since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/us-senate-votes-50-48-away-broadband-privacy-rules-let-isps-telecoms-sell-internet-history\/\">2017<\/a>, and it\u2019s reasonable to assume that it\u2019s also a regular occurrence in any country that doesn\u2019t forbid its ISPs from doing so. IP address retention periods at the ISP level are a fact of life and it\u2019s nice to know their average duration. For those seeking to avoid IP address based tracking, there are tools for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study on IP address has been released.\u00a0 Specifically, the study looks at IP address retention periods of internet service providers (ISPs) around the world.
