1. A computing apparatus for tracking prior web page activity, the computing apparatus comprising:
- a communications network interface that accesses a server in logical communication with a communications network to download a version of web page content, the downloaded version of the web page content including unique identification information, wherein a new user profile is created and associated with the unique identification information;
memory that stores the downloaded version of the web page content including the unique identification information; and
a processor that executes executable software stored on the communications network access device, wherein execution of the software by the processor generates a graphic user interface (GUI) display based on the downloaded version of the web page content;
wherein the communications network interface;
transmits the downloaded version of the web page content including the unique identification information to the server, wherein the user profile is updated based on activity associated with the unique identification information, and wherein the server determines an IP address of the transmitted downloaded version of the web page and updates the user profile with the determined IP address,receives a new version of the webpage content in response to the transmitted unique identification information and the downloaded version of the web page content, andreceives custom content based on the updated user profile.
