In theory, yes. But in practice? It’s quite rare these days.
(Honestly, I don’t even see why they want to track users so much. Is it really that effective? You could just have targeted ads based on the content of the web page you’re on, rather than based on the identity of the user. That should still target your ads pretty well, and without infringing on anyone’s privacy in the slightest. Plus, you don’t need the overhead of maintaining a giant database of every potential customer in the world.)
Yeah, and there really are much better ways to support creators.
And for real, since my family tends to share accounts and I keep my stuff relatively secret, tracking never gets it right. Hell half the time they just give me Spanish ads. I don’t speak Spanish.
It really is that effective.
