Every unprotected visit to an adult website leaves a traceable record: your IP address, your browsing timestamps, your content preferences - all visible to your Internet Service Provider and, potentially, to the sites themselves. This is not a theoretical risk. ISPs in many jurisdictions are legally permitted to log and retain traffic metadata, and adult sites routinely deploy trackers that follow users well beyond the boundaries of a single session. The solution is not incognito mode. It is encryption - and the most accessible form of it for everyday users is a VPN.
