Do websites log IP addresses?

Do most websites log or know the user’s IP address? Is the public IP address required to visit any website and therefore it’s “public” online?

If the website doesn’t know your IP address, then they can’t send back the content you’re asking for. As far as logging is concerned, yeah, they probably do that too. If there’s a firewall, that will most likely log your IP to decide if it needs to block you or not. And the server itself the website is sitting on probably logs all of the traffic it receives in some way or another, for some amount of time.
