"Blocking ads" is typically justified because the data is being sent to your computer, which is then rejecting parts of the data. The other side of this coin is that when you voluntarily send data to the server, what they do with it is generally their business (complying with local laws etc). If you want to "block tracking" you should prevent your computer from sending trackable data to the server. Complaining that theyre keeping data about you is tilting at windmills: good luck preventing it.
