I'm pretty old and was the same as you for about five years, but now I just tick anything, much like the young adults. If they want my info, they can have it. I've not heard a convincing explanation why I, personally, should care

The problem is most of the time - perhaps all the time - you don't need to care. However you won't know about the exception until it is too late.
