Here is some code from the UC site. It is in the header of every page.

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/ 
javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-86932-5";
urchinTracker();
</script>

http://www.google.com/analytics/

This means that anyone with javascript turned on (most have it on by  
default), will have their IP tracked by Google when they visit the UC  
website. It will track which pages are visited, which webpage you  
originated from, and probably what someone posts.
