> I know it's just being used to correlate purchases and track me, but I don't view it as creepy at all. The creepy part is when people do things without telling you. That stores keep a record of your purchases when you swipe the card is probably not creepy. I'd assume most people assume that's what happens. But if they then share the information they collected on you with others, without asking for your explicit permission, that's where it's starting to get creepy. I'm not sure Chrome users are aware that their browser tracks every website they visit, create a profile on you, and then share that profile (in a supposedly privacy preserving way) with others.
