Or can it just view how many hits have been made?
How are each of these done?

websites can see your ip address, with cookies

Yes, websites can actually track your IP address when you visit it. Any server does that and records it in a log. Take a Web server for example. It sees where the site was accessed from and records that address in a log so any supervisor can see it. A script in a web site can use these logs or even track your ip themselves. And that's why you can see (on ad sites especially): "Find best products near X", where X is the place you live in.

Yes. Now if you have a firewall, the webites can see only the IP address given to you by your ISP. As newer versions of HTML, JAVA, Active Coding, and Operating Systems in general get released, websites can not only track you IP address but get an abundance of informaiton about your computer.

I have a website and am responsible for several others and yes there is a log file that I can look at to see every IP who hit my page, the time they arrived, the browser and version they use, what they looked at and for how long, when they left, the page they viewed previously, and the next page they went to from mine.

"Any time you visit any web page, your IP address is known .Not all web sites pay attention to this information, but it's made available to all of them."

Several companies are offering special software packages that work with your
web browser to control who can send you a cookie. In these packages, you
designate which sites can send you a cookie and which can not, alleviating the
need to turn cookie use on and off by hand. If you want to use cookies in some
instances and not in others, one of these packages may make things easier.

Hello don't know exactly how they are done but yes the IP address is recorded, that is how a person can get spam or junk mail.

yes, the web server logs your IP address each time you visit. Whether the person who set up the web site checks these logs is another story.

you may't conceal your IP handle. once you connect with a service on the cyber web (digital mail, IM, cyber web web pages, FTP servers, and so on.), that service needs to carry close the position to deliver the training you requested. IP addresses do no longer enable secret agent ware. Irresponsible computing enables secret agent ware. i have been utilizing computers for over 25 years and that i have not had an epidemic or secret agent ware.

Yes they can, because you ( your computer) has to request information from their server to connect, giving them your IP. Going into detail on how they do this is best learned by reading some books on Networking and the Internet.
Edit: to tmonk, yes they can still get you ip even if your computer does not allow cookies.

If they know how, they can track your IP address. But if you use a proxy surfer, then they cant track it.
Well, they can, but the IP address won't be yours.
