Not only do you leave a trace. In the EU, it's mandatory for your ISP to save that trace and hand it over to Big Brother (your gov't) at his request.
The 'data retention directive' law was passed early this year and was pushed by the orwellian ministers of justice of your and my countries, Clarke and Bodström.
Bodström also wanted to store the contents of emails, SMSes and entire cell phone conversations for seven years, but for now he had to back down.
