They know I visited the page by their servers serving me the page. Why the hell does Google need to be involved for that?

And why should a random page I visit get to know my demography, interests and where I come from? How can you portray avoiding that as taking privacy too far??

I don't care if that makes it harder to optimize your business. Find another way or perish.

But these are all things that real world business can learn as well about you, more or less.

You don't have a problem with them knowing that.

How do the real life businesses know that? If I explicitly tell them, that's fine. If they know it through some nefarious collection I would have a problem with that.
