Yes. If they use proxy servers they even keep a lof of it.
Whether or not they use that log is another issue.

YES! Its Automatic and called a system connection Log and is recorded by ALL Internet providers and is shared with both UK and USA security forces and police forces including Interpol.
This is recorded in the same way as all the telephone numbers you dial and can be used for the same purposes by legally authorised agencies. If such logging wasn't around I WOULD feel worried as it makes people think twice before doing something too atrocious!

Of course...nothing you do on the internet is truly private! Anyone with enough know how can find out anything about you if you have used the internet!

Yes. Unrelated companies find it out via cookies stored on your computer. Internet providers could do it no problem, but do they?

they know everything - they are the all seeing eye. I wouldn't worry about being caught over any naughtyness though, they have to erase their logs on a regular basis due to limited storage capacity, they would only keep your records if they suspect you for something, or the police have tipped them off.

Yes, but they have to record many billions of sites for many millions of users.

yes, they actually stay sored in a "virtual warehouse" allowing easier access to them next time. They are usually erased wuite frequently, weekly or maybe even daily.
