It used to be that CSS leaked all visitor states with no user interaction. This was patched by browsers a few years back, but there are still ways to extract some data from :visited, it just requires user interaction now.

That's pretty limited though. You can only check urls (not domains), and only as many urls as there are characters in the captcha.

It's a clever hack though!
