There are people here who believe Google Analytics is the absolute devil, the reality is much more benign.

OP saying that "I am not a data cow" is just missing the point. GA is logging when you visit the website, some interactions like clicking a link, and generally not much more than that. It is not indexing your hard drive or downloading your photos.

Go somewhere in person and there's probably orders of magnitude more data being collected on your activities.
