There are very many sites out there which collect statistics at various levels. e.g.  scorecardresearch.com,  doubleclick.com

Some of these (claim to) only collect 'anonymous' data, others collect more private information.  There is no current category into which such sites can be accurately put.

Blocking such sites probably requires the 'silent block' feature which other people have already requested (and I strongly support) since the access to them is not triggered by the actual user but by some other allowed site.

  Why go out over the internet for something you don't want to see at all?  Best you do it locally and save the traffic, e.g. with AdBlock Plus or Ghostery.
