Asking someone if they are aware of something introduces its own set of biases, eg observer bias. Do you expect is more neutral as the respondent is not "clued in" to the "right" answer through the question. The cynicism you describe would only be felt if the respondent is aware that tracking is status quo, and thinks that it's problematic. In which case, you'd get the same answer.
