The same level of tracking is done on the web, constantly. And you don't need to give any sort of permission for it. What is different is gaining root/Administrator access on the machine in order to ensure the tracking is done vs a client side browser script asking if it can run. And then using that access to install a rootkit or mess with the registry to ensure tracking software starts on reboot, etc. That is what is annoying.
