Jack,

Here's the deal... Every website you access, whether it is directly or indirectly, logs the IP address of the computer for EVERY FILE (HTML, JPG, GIF, etc.) that you request. Any web manager can go through and see every IP address that reached their website, what files were browsed, how long they were on, and so forth. This is how hit counters work and also how these cute little maps work.

Keep in mind, this is only your IP address. There is no personally identifiable information being transmitted and the location of the IP address is pulled from a Public Domain database that handles geolocation of registered IP blocks. I know it seems a little freaky, but it's really quite safe.

Enjoy!
