The Internet did not craft with privacy in mind. Actualy, the protocols that provide the base underpinnings of the Net are inherently non-anonymous. It's just a simple matter of computers needing to know each other's addresses in order to exchange data. For example, our server can detect your IP address. Other parameters that a server can detect about you are your referrer (the site from which you are linking), the user-agent (the program you are using to browse the Web), and your operating system.
