Scroll Tracking, Engagement Tracking (riveted.js), Outbound Link Tracking and lots of other things that are not in the default GA setup.
I understand why a site owner would want those things, but as a user it is terrifying! This is why I run an ad blocker.

In GA's case, none of this is personally identifiable (Google actively strips info which could be PII out of listings), and the way Scroll Tracking is implemented could only ever be used in aggregate. So that is something.

- opdev8 10y agoTracking & analytics are great, but respect for user privacy should be greater. The current state of analytics is too intrusive to user privacy. Hence we decided to get rid of all analytics from our website (https://ipapi.co https://ipapi.co). </Shameless plug>
- fuj 10y agolol seriously? promoting your website? How is that relevant? Because you do not use google analytics? So if we talk about html, everyone should do a "shameless plug" because they also use html?!
