I'm a user. I don't like being tracked. Now what?
That's half the point - users don't want to be tracked.
Genuine question, what user tracking is there that isn't opt out?
How about we make them prove they are not tracking users instead?
Some do not want to be tracked.
Here's a tip: you and the users of your site are being tracked anyways.
No user actually wants to be tracked. Some users might want “relevant” ads, but nobody wants to be tracked.
Not tracking users when they ask not to be tracked?
I wonder how many folk on HN, spend time figuring out how to track users who don't want to be tracked. Not cool.
Can't you just focus on those who do opt-in to tracking and ignore the others?
