Nah, not a chance. I mean, maybe if you're running a lightweight Linux distro and don't ever open a browser, then you might be able to grasp it, but what your average consumer device and your average webpages send out, should be well beyond what can be understood by any single human. That is not least also caused by the fact that at this point, data does not have an expiration date. For all we know, someone might be able to get data about your sleeping schedule in 500 years, still, or I don't know, jail your great-grandson when Hitler then finally does make a return, because you once talked to a Jewish girl.
