Cameras don't have to be hooked up to my person in order to work. Transaction and card details are only exchanged when an actual transaction is processed, which I must do knowingly and thus consent to (pick up item, bring to counter, pay)
In contrast, the "virtual camera" equivalent involves using my computer's resources, and every move I make on the website is considered a transaction even if no purchase is made. All this data is collected and used most often without the user's knowledge!
The real life equivalent is more like a strip search before entering the store, and a pat down every time you enter a new store department along with a paragraph from you about your intents in this area of the store, and your signature on the bottom.
I'd say that's pretty tiresome for the user.

You claim the data is collected without user knowledge, so how could it be compared to such invasive procedures? The camera metaphor is far more apt, other than the resource usage (which is negligible in most cases, let's be real)
