People who are involved in illegal activities are usually aware of the risks and take precautions such as hiding their IPs and using mixers so even If that happens , It's not going to be something easy to track.
It's however something to be afraid of , If for example the governments are running the mixers. There are no open source mixers in the market so you should think twice before using an unknown service.

My question is that can a website see my MAC address or can they have an information about that I'm the same person under these conditions:

It depends on the web site you are accessing and what special scripts run on their servers.

For example:

When you connect to a wifi hotspot, you will first be directed to a login web page where you have to enter your credentials to be given farther access to the Internet. If you check the address bar of that login page, you will discover your MAC address in there and most likely the MAC address of the router you are connecting to. You don't need to have installed any special software on your computer. A script, which is downloaded by the browser from the server where the login web page is located, does that. That is, the script reads the information about your network adapter and creates the complex string placed in the browser address bar.

After you login, the information about your MAC address sent by your computer and your credentials (user id and password) are placed in a database by the wifi hotspot provider. From that moment, on every time you connect to that wifi network (regardless of the physical hotpsot), your MAC address will be checked against the database. If the credentials are still current and valid you will be given access to the Internet, without the need of another login.

Your MAC address and/or your credentials can be farther used by the wifi hotspot provider to monitor and limit your access to the network based on length of access, time of access, amount of data transferred, type of data accessed, etc.

To answer the original question, a web site can read your MAC address, but they need to have special scripts on their servers and force your browser to download them.

'Super cookies' can track you even in private browsing mode, researcher says

I have heard that the CIA has set up its own nodes. There are those who say that they are building their own bitcoin network to follow the people involved in illegal activities and that they follow the transaction traffic.

Is it possible? Could the states follow their bitcoin by setting up their own nodes in this way?
