Right!

It should not, 
and by browser-design it probably is not, 
but how can you be certain?

Your phone might be compromized.

You may have been asked for your phone-number say 3 years earlier,
and a cookie of the same url still has the number.

[btw, websites run on servers, 
I trust you don't mean a website on a phone.]
