    Yes I too have the knowledge about this bug actually web beacon al called as clear GIFs is just like cookie to help to understand the behavior of the user to understand the market. A web beacon is normally a translucent graphic image that is located on a site or in an email. It would be just 1 pixel size big. Web pages and graphical emails use presentation code that informs your computer what should be done when the page is opened. it gather the information of your IP address ,the site you viewed with the time , type of browser and the cookies that is already present in your computer . Web beacons never additional information away. They are simply a suitable way of getting the simplest of statistics and managing cookies. It needs third party to check the goings-on site but it is said Turning off the browser's cookies will stop web beacons from follow your particular activity. But it may still record an unidentified visit from your IP address but exclusive information will not be recorded but about the opera I have no idea whether it prevent the Beacon.
