Check/uncheck in Internet Options

In Internet options advanced what is enable page hit counting? Can it be unchecked?

 

The Enable page hit counting is great for Web site creators who want to know what pages you're viewing even when you're off-line. But you're the one who has to put up with a log file being kept on your hard disk by the content provider. Uncheck this one too. Notify when downloads are complete is one of the uglier facets of IE 5. Deselect this and you'll be happier downloading files.
