Yes, internet service providers (ISPs) can keep a record of the websites you visit as part of their network management and for various other reasons, such as legal compliance, improving services, and targeted advertising. This data can potentially include your browsing history, IP addresses accessed, and timestamps.
However, the extent and duration of this data retention can vary by country and ISP policies. In some places, there are regulations that limit how long ISPs can retain user data, while in others, ISPs may have more leeway in terms of data storage.
If privacy is a concern, you can use tools such as virtual private networks (VPNs), private browsing modes, or privacy-focused browsers to help protect your online activities from being easily tracked by ISPs.
