So they do permanently store some information, perhaps tied to everything that isn't PII: my location, connection speed, time of day, access frequency. That can certainly be used to target adverts.
When an easy alternative is a company that doesn't have a reason to store this data, why not choose them?

By all means, choose whomever you trust the most. All I was saying in my response above was that, in making that decision, it would probably make sense to make sure you're reading their privacy policies accurately first. In this case the idea that "permanently" was weasel-worded seemed incorrect and misleading to me.

"Permanently" is not weasel-worded here.
