How does my ISP (that has an offer on data only for a specific website) know that I am using the internet for that specific website and not others?

A couple of ways:
1) If it’s not about how much data you’re using in general, and is instead just a general offer (like, “Sign up for this site and we’ll give you a $10 discount for the next three months”), then odds are you are going to have to connect your ISP account and your Offer Site account to activate the deal.
2) If it *is* about actual data usage (i.e., data you use for streaming from YouTube doesn’t count against your monthly allotment), then it would be based on how much internet traffic they see between your house and that site. If you use a VPN it would render the offer useless, since they would no longer be able to see you connecting to that site, though, unless you set it up as an exception to the VPN connection.
