What makes me really angry about Facebook and other companies that aggressively track (almost to the point where it's weaponized) is that it hurts companies that just want to track to improve their products.
I NEED the tracking data to improve my product.
If users aren't clicking on a button I need to know why. I need to see what % of users never come back and why so I can improve the product and make my customers happy.
Without this data I'm flying blind and my product will literally die.
I'm not interested in private information like your shopping habits so I can sell you ads.
Now the problem is most users are so cynical they want everything turned off.
I wish there was a way to have some sort of 'profile' to specify what I'm tracking.
I want to be the white hat but I'm in a room with some BIG black hats so it's obvious that users are going to be cynical and pessimistic.

- socceroos 8y agoIf this is really all you want from your analytics then roll your own and serve it from the same domain. Problem solved. There are a few very nice open source analytics solutions out there.
- pferde 8y agoI think the GP's point was that the likes of Facebook and Google are giving tracking bad rap, and we're at the point of not trusting anyone trying any tracking for any purpose whatsoever.
