To be clear, your on page is basically tracked regardless of whether you even use an analytics service, at least any on page activity that interacts with a webserver.
In other words, if you are object to website owners tracking you on their site, then basically you can't use the internet. And to be clear, if you object to in store tracking in physical locations, you are going to be able to shop at fewer and fewer locations (anyplace with a security camera).
If you are concerned about cross site tracking or permanent cookies, that is a different issue. Did you see any mention of that for this product? KissMetrics has definitely taken heat for this.
- icebraining 14y agoThere are levels of tracking. JavaScript enables much more intrusive tracking than server logs. Ever pasted a password into the wrong textfield by mistake? With JS tracking, it may be already in someone's server. if you object to in store tracking in physical locations, you are going to be able to shop at fewer and fewer locations (anyplace with a security camera). Maybe, but at least here in the EU you can't use that footage for analytics or share it with any company. Even our government got CCTV project shut down because they didn't comply with Data Protection laws. I don't advocate for Internet legislation, but I too will block it and wish people were more respectful of others' privacy.
