Oh, but they do. The same way a group of muggers does when they stop you in a dark alley and say, "we value your money".

(Hell, they'll likely offer you an option to consent or proceed without consent to receive reduced experience.)

We value your privacy in much the same way fleas value dogs.

That's a nice analogy, can extend it a bit by offering a "reduced experience due to broken limbs"

Exactly:

"We value your privacy"

Click "Options" or whatever. Almost everything seems turned of (I guess it is an attempted dark pattern where they want me to believe it is off by default.)

Click "Third parties". See an somewhat complete list of shady "mainstream" tracker companies - or so I hope -there are literally hundreds of companies on that list, I counted by copying and pasting into a spreadsheet :-]

So much for valuing my privacy. Then again I guess it can be read to mean they value taking our privacy away.

"Your private information has value to us" would be a more honest wording.

They really do value it, though, at the price of the highest bidder.
