You're taking this as if every business is a huge faceless corporation. If my employer pushed out garbage there's gonna be a real hit to our reputation (we work in a deeply technical sector - the backlash would really hurt the long term profitability). The website itself is well organized. There's good reason to believe that people who want some X info will also be interested into Y info (due to legislation or standards set by the industry or simply because there are domain specific trends). There really is a mutual interest in knowing these correlations. That way some segments won't be pushed useless stuff that they aren't likely to be interested in. They said we wouldn't need tracking. How would we get those info without tracking? No, we are not selling that data to anyone and it could be anonymous for all we care (IMO this is more an issue with the http protocol than anything else, but good luck changing that)
