To some degree, Facebook "tracks" IPs in the sense that they are usually aware when an account starts logging in from a new IP and may give you a challenge.
This question I have is more academic then practical, but I'm curious if there is a "standard" way to track IPs.
ie. I imagine whenever you log in, they store your login IP info in a database for future reference.
However, let's say you are already logged in and reset your IP to a new one (dynamic connection) and continue browsing without logging out. Would there be any way for Facebook on a practical level to know the account changed IPs in midsession? Is it possible or practical for a site to be able to track/store your IP at all browsing navigations after the initial log in?
I guess what I'm asking is if IP is a normal data point that is always given on server logs or does it require effort on the webmaster so it's typically only gotten on initial login. Thanks
