It's not so clear-cut. I have a Gitlab action that checks for the update every hour and then emails me when a match is found, so I technically have employed a bot. It saves me time and saves them bandwidth. For tracking, they'll have to rely on old-fashioned "order history" and "inventory period". By these metrics, I would be baffled if they decided to block my access or close my account, even if I'm bypassing Google Tags/their AB test suite/social media analytics/ads for their other services. Ignoring their nonconsent feels impolite, but they can dry their tears with my spent money.
