    In addition to tracking which page were visited,

    • you can track the order pages were visisted in a session, and
    • you can track the length of time between page visits.

    With the help of JavaScript,

    • you can get the user's screen resolution.

    Via an ActiveX object, you could get any information about a Windows computer, including:

    • installed software
    • installed devices
    • hard drive sizes
    • hardware id numbers from devices that provide one

    That's off the top of my head.
