JavaScript is entirely client-side and you can always turn it off and
also read the code before executing, solutions like Greasemonkey for
Firefox can selectively block parts of JavaScript that intend to track
your IP/identity.

Regardless of whether a script is run on a client or on a server (w/o
anonymizers or proxies), it can report a similar amount of
information: IP (which can be translated to a city), OS and Browser +
versions and often redirect info, i.e. which page did you come from.
