I disagree with your last statement. People may care about being tracked even though they don’t understand the mechanism, or even that it’s happening.

Well I just think that if you aren’t aware you are being tracked, you probably don’t really care too much.

People who care they are being tracked will take the time to learn how stop being tracked. That’s why I learned about cookies etc.

I think this is probably a way for google to assert further control over the advertising industry, using the guise of improving user privacy. Like I said, most users don’t really care because if they did they would just disable cookies, so I think they are solving a problem no one is actually having and that seems suspicious.
