Sorry, my bad. Shall trim going forward. I consume most of my news through newsletters emailed to a separate email account. (Separate so (a) it's out of mind, (b) doesn't buzz my phone and (c) lets me enforce my rule around deleting any I haven't read by the end of the day.) Didn't realize my trackers were transmitting.
Apologies in retrospect; I wasn't trying to come down on you. You posted the link you were given. My angst is aimed at the people who craft those links, either intentionally or programmatically.
No offense taken! In fact, thank you. I generally browse through Tor. Sort of defeats part of the purpose behind that if I distribute unique referral tags :P.
