Simple visiting to any website may be a high risk to you.

skills that webmaster at the web servers may use to find more info about you.
Malicious software and code
Malicious code is intended to harm, disrupt, or circumvent
computer and network functions. This code can be mobile,
such as Java applets or code in the Active X environment. It can
also attach itself to legitimate code and propagate; it can lurk in
useful applications or replicate itself across the Internet.
Windows and privacy
Windows and other software programs store information about what you have done,
what documents you have used, what web sites you have visited, what images and movies you have seen,
and various other activities you have performed.
The most of the tracks can not be erased by Windows.
Therefore, anyone else can see what you have been doing on your computer,
which raises several privacy concerns.
