Disagreed.  Just because I am being tracked a hundred other ways doesn't mean I should invite more ways.  Just because someone isn't steeling anything from me, doesn't mean I should invite them to track me or keep tabs on me.

What I don't like about this particular scenario is that when I delete something from my computer, I want it to stay deleted.  And yes, I know that just deleting it from my computer, and emptying the recycle bin does not mean the file is unrecoverable.  Which is why I use file shredders.
