How to prevent my information from being accessed by webpages

Hello - I have visited a few sites that somehow have information about what
city I live in. I have cleared autocomplete and history and cookies and
offline files, and when I go back they still greet me with the city I live
in. How do they get that info? How do I stop it?
Running IE 6
Thanx
