Techniques for recovering certain biometric data from accelerometers, microphones, etc. is well-established.

Obviously the behavioral profiles are unaffected by this, considering it focuses primarily on browsing habits.

They're using industry standard techniques for user tracking.

If you find them objectionable, change the industry.
