i.e. sitemeter.com provides such a free counter service. the web****** with the counter code on his page can see detailed information about an ip address (visitor) .. even what operating system the visitor has installed.

one site i know that is using this counter service is http://www.fotos*00.de

I dont see how you could go wrong if you Disable Active Scripting and Cookies - Then find a nice proxy server and you should be completely safe.

Any other s***estions?
