Right?! I have a website for a music studio. I never worry about any of this shit because it's just a static site with no tracking or analytics. It's just that simple. It's there if someone searches for me and that's enough. Rely on being a good business and organic search, word of mouth, and reputation will bring you business. You don't need to seo the shit out of everything and sell your visitors.
It’s not like it would be any more work to figure it out with a complex site. You still have to enumerate everything you’re tracking, add the ability to disable it, and make sure the site works without it. All you have to do is turn them all off rather than presenting an alert asking the user.
I understand why companies don’t do it that way. Tracking is worth money and they like money. What I don’t understand is why ordinary people make excuses for them.
