If you don't want to be tracked and sold the only way is to block the stuff yourself. Some sites won't let you in, which is fine by me I'll no doubt find the same info elsewhere. I'd rather not block adverts, I know they pay for some half-decent free resources, but there is no way to block the tracking without also blocking the ads. Oddly I've seen more useful adverts since actively making efforts to block tracking, less being presented with things I've already looked at but dismissed and more random "I hadn't thought of that, but maybe" promotions. I'm not sure if that is a coincidence, or a sign that the tracking isn't actually that useful for advertising purposes. If the latter then the question becomes "then why are they so intent on tracking me?" - I suspect because the other ads are part of a status quo that is desperately trying to hold on despite not being as relevant & useful as is claimed.
