Parent article: Tracking users

Most people share what sites they visited by

the ads on the pages.
images from multi-sites.
like buttons
javascript (the front ends on a site might proxy uploads from third parties)
etc.

Now if you aren't one of those people, be happy.. you are only being tracked by any friends who mention/picture/share you while doing those things.
