No, I am okay for them to be able to know.

Them knowing is not the problem. Them using it to harm me is the problem. These are different thing, latter is a problem, former is not.

Let pick this one example :

'your restaurant visits and shopping habits'

Just them knowing is not problem, in fact them knowing can also benefit me: e.g when they want to give me gift.

I'm not advocating to outlaw invasive tracking, rather advocating on solving the problem of the use of invasive tracking to harm people.
