Thread: Suddenlink keeps my browsing cache in its server?

Does Suddenlink keep my browsing cache in its server?

I deleted my browsing history/cookies in my IE and Firefox browser.
When I went back to sites like Gmail,Ebay, Amazon, BestBuy, and
even CNN, they still show that I'm logged in. At first, I thought
maybe the cookies were kept somewhere else on my PC and my browers
didn't really delete them.

Imagine my surprise when I brought home my newly purchased laptop
computer. I opened it up and started using it. The laptop is plugged
into the ethernet outputof my modem. Remember, this was a new laptop
that I just bought last night at BestBuy. New in the box.

I had not entered any personal information on it. When I opened up
a IE browser window, I typed mail.goolge.com. I didn't even enter my
user name and it already started loading my inbox page. I almost
freaked out because there it was, my inbox wil all of my emails...

Next, I tried Amazon.com. When the paged opened up, it already
showed my name on the top corner. I clicked on my account, it
already had my suddenlink email address in the box, but the password
field was blank.

Tried a few other websites that I frequently use, they all did the
same thing... most just shows my user name, but left out passpords....

What is going on here? How on earth do all those websites know who
was logging in? I mean, this was a brand new laptop and like I said,
I hadn't entered any personal info yet....

The only explanation that I could come up with was that all of
my browsing cache/history/cookies had been secretly kept on suddenlink's
server. but how is this even possible?

I got no help from tech support...

can someone help me figure out what's going on?

I'm certainly no expert, but I think what you're talking about is IP logging by those websites. You could try clearing the tracking cookies and using a program like Ccleaner for good measure, then shut down the computer and disconnect your modem. After a few minutes hook back up and log back on and see if you are still remembered by the websites. If they've forgotten you, they were logging your IP. That doesn't mean that Suddenlink isn't keeping some kind of record.
