'One of the best ways to track your live stats and visitors is via Reinvigorate. If you’re running vBulletin 4, you can make of an excellent feature of Reinvigorate called NameTags.
From Reinvigorate
Name Tags are an easy way to identify exactly who your visitors are. It works by associating information your site manages (username, e-mail, account ID, etc..) with the session ID Reinvigorate uses to track visitors on your site/blog.' - here on meetc3.com blog : http://www.meetc3.com/blog/reinvigorate-vbulletin-4.html

Pretty much every website you go to tracks you, google being the worst offender. Just install something like Ghostery and you will be fine. Also in most browsers there is a do not track checkbox in the options. Also clear all cookies upon closing your browser.

Also you can unchecked from your browser in "accepting cookies" however majority of the sites need cookies to accept in order to proceed like in log in sites.

Cleaned them with privacy cleaners after browsing at any sites.

Most of the sites use a service to monitor they traffic (most of the sites are using Google Analytics - one of the most accurate services) , the main reason why they do it is because they need statistical data of what's going on.
For instance we need it because the software developers ask us what is our number of daily guests when requesting a giveaway.
Like pcjunklist said , if you don't want to be tracked just use a browser plugin and this should solve the problem
