Except you are not in your home. You are in an app, a commercial property. Imagine trying to say that grocery stores are not allowed to have security cameras, or track what isles are most busy, or count the the number of each item sold. All these things are under attack. I agree that cross-site tracking for ad purposes is bad, but this obsession with privacy goes too far. If you run around outside naked sorry you don't get to demand no one look. There are private spaces and non-private spaces, and I don't believe in eliminating non-private spaces. edit: and to clarify, an app on your home computer controlling your lights or appliances, that should be a private space with opt-in usage tracking for UX improvement, a server on the internet that you are interacting with, that is not a private space. While you shouldn't be allowed to track across servers, yes I believe the server owner should has every right to anonymously track the views and areas of the website that people spend time on, and certainly they have every right to track purchases and do analytics on them.
