Literally EVERYBODY tracks your IP address. If they didn't, there would be no way to access information on the internet. An IP address is how internet information finds its destination and is exactly analogous to your house address for receiving paper mail: EVERYBODY knows your house address. It's a public record. The question is not "Do they track my IP access" but "Do they track what internet sites and information I access from my IP address". You can block a lot of this, use a VPN or proxy to hide your real IP, but then you can't use "free" services like google calendar, etc. -Ed
