What I do when am not on your site is my business and not any of your business.

I totally agree. And we're totally uninterested in what you do off our site.

I'm purely talking about tracking your behaviour on our site. We want to know if you spent 20 mins reading our "about" page and then looked at our pricing page, and then vanished.

In terms of the rest... country is probably interesting, language preference is interesting (when do we need to translate from English because we have enough customers not speaking English), platform is probably interesting (purely so we can prioritise development to match our customer base). Where you got referred from is probably interesting, I guess.

But all of that we'll be getting from the http request and ip address rather than any malign tracking cookie nonsense.

Then suppose it would be best to avoid the tools and modalities currently being exploited by those who are so keenly interested in what everyone does all the time. Because who has time to figure out the few non malignant players in this vast space of parasites?

I don't want you to know this sort of information. It's too invasive.
