Explanation
An applet is a small application compiled to bytecode that runs on the client side, typically within a browser or JVM. While applets are interpreted at runtime, they are first compiled to bytecode before distribution. Visitor tracking and data collection are web server functions, not applet characteristics. The key distinction is that applets are pre-compiled programs delivered to clients.
