fair enough, I didn't intend to be repeating an untrue mantra. could you explain how I would opt out? I know they provide privacy controls to opt out of web search history, but analytics on a clean browser will assign me a unique id, it will then use that id to track me on every page I go to, without even being logged in to any google services at all. that sounds like being opted in without my consent to me. maybe I'm wrong and I missed it, how would I protect my privacy in this (very widespread) case?
