I was just wondering what web proxies block? Is it just the ip number?

Do stats tracking systems still get information from the hosts computer besides the ip number so if I visited from the same computer but with different proxies it would see them all as the same visitor?

I was just wondering cause I was testing stuff out as far as clicking on my own links through proxies and noticed some sponsor link codes get all garbled. And I just wonder why that is and if it has an effect on stats, tracking and getting sales?

AFAIK, what passes thorough varies. Some pass on the referring URL, some don't, some pass the originating IP, some don't, etc.
