Sneaky buggers!

 

Actually, it's a service google provides for web hosts to monitor web site activity. It's been in a couple of years now. It shows lots of good stuff, but it's all aggregated, not specific to individual members.

If you use firefox you can add the "No Script" extension to block it. No Script is a neat little extension that will stop any script from running without explicit permission.
