> Now people know that they're being tracked. Great. They are still being tracked and now are being annoyed with the modals everywhere

And now when I tell people 'companies are tracking you' noone calls me a conspiracy theorist any more. They say- yes they are.

Reminds me of California’s prop 65: everywhere and on everything you can buy there is a warning that the place/thing could cause cancer. Technically true, but the information isn’t actionable because it is so broad.
