Yesterday I was surfing on the net and when I opened a particular
website, I saw words to this effect: "my computer geek tells me that
you're visiting us from ---my city--, ---my state---.

I wasn't happy to see that. I'm wondering now, do all webpages that I
visit tell the owner or webmaster where I'm from?

If I only stay three seconds and then leave, does that information
remain on their record?
