That's basically saying "even if you opt out, we'll still try to track you, just not as much." Very unpleasant, but then again I'm not surprised to see this attitude from Google.

Combine a few pieces of information like this and you get a decisively unique fingerprint.

For example identifying individuals at work behind the same ip address.
