That is part of the reason they offer these services for free. Number one it's about supporting their ads businesses, but they also use it for other things to further their own objectives. People should stop using these analytics services, they're not even that good.

I do this by blocking domains that belong to analytics providers, and don't allow most Javascript to execute in my browser.
