Oh bull shit. The contracts you sign (or click I agree to) are thousands of legal definitions and words that most people don't even read, much less understand.

Google's contract is very simple: We show you ads (the more we understand your interests, the more targeted our ads) and you get to use our stuff without monetary cost.

Have you tried asking your non-IT acquaintances whether they knew and understood the tracking part? Because my experience is that most people don't, even if you think it should be obvious.
