Yeah, I saw the bit about turning off all 3rd party cookies, which made me happy as I already do that myself.
As for the ubiquity and potential for data sharing among Google services, I suppose I hadn't though that entirely through. I know there was one analytics company claiming it could track individuals between devices using some fancy statistics, but I assumed it was snake oil (it was not GA claiming that).
Anyway, I hear ya, and thanks. I can see a case against GA specifically, though I have a hard time swallowing it against all analytics. I suppose it's a question of trade-offs that people are willing to make.
