Pretty much every major website does this. Not only that, if you are using windows 10, it does this too. Not only does windows 10 track your mouse movements, it tracks your keystrokes and it scans your filesystem and sends the meta data info back to microsoft.

It's a very anti-privacy environment we live in right now. But it's for our own good or so we are told.

To be fair, you can turn that stuff off. But most people probably don't understand that it's doing that, so they don't even think of it.
