You can't do such.

It would require that an application stored on the drive is started whenever it is plugged into another system (auto start) which is usually denied by default (there will be a message asking if execution is allowed).

Then this application needs online access which might be also denied.

Finally, such an application is operating system dependant (a Windows application will not run on Linux or Mac systems).

The only system independent solution might by loading a HTML page stored on the drive using auto start so that the page is shown with the default browser on the system. This HTML page might then have an external link (e.g. to an image) to a domain owned by you so that you can check the server's log file for access to that link.

But again, such would require that the person inserting the drive allows opening the HTML page by the auto start and that his system is actually online.
