Why?
Under European law, you can only transmit such information or track it if you have an explicit opt-in to it.
I'd doubt you'd get laughed out of court, considering the Cookie law was written for exactly this case.
If you have a judge who is not completly dumb he would laugh you off for such litigation. If you have a judge who still has his staff print out internet pages for him it might get compilicated for you as a contributor. Idiot judge already happened to me, that was an expensive lesson life taught me.
So no, I wouldn't risk sticking my name on something like that.
Because everybody else does it, doesn't mean you don't get away with it. (And over here the big boys google/apple can do a lot of things the small ones can't even begin to try - they have the advantage of getting before a "high enough" court with intelligent judges)
