What do you mean exactly? Redirects? HTTP_REFERER? -
Some sites use what's called url referral to gain access to protected areas. A lot of the plug in feeds use this system. The broswer must be able to pass on the URL that the surfer came from, and it's matched against a list. If the URL is an approved URL, access is granted. If it's not, the surfer is rejected.

However, I think that it can be disabled in Firefox (user can disable the browser from sending referrer info). Not sure about it, but the userComment
