Any website can ingest data and then pass it off to another 3rd party. This has been possible since the dawn of the internet and very common. There is absolutely nothing new here.

The technical workings of how data is collected on websites is completely orthogonal to legal doctrine that protects user privacy.

the "new" thing is that it's been pushed by Google, hence made a lot easier
