Oh right I hadn't thought of combining it with the IP itself.
Yeah, so e.g. you open site A without a VPN and then later, site B with a VPN on the same browser.
Your browser is now recognised and site B may sell you ads based on what you did on site A, or maybe region-block you based on your IP with site A.
