Maybe you are referring to required data. I can buy some bread and the store does not need my ID for accounting purposes, so not sure what exceptional stores or gym need to send a copy of my ID and my activities to their accountant.

My problem is with the 100+ partners that are OBVIOUSLy not partners and not required to have my data.

Ok, now what's the difference between sharing "1 bread sold" (with no identifying information about the customer) with a third-party and "1 page visited" (with no identifying information about the visitor) with a third-party?

"1 page visited" (with no identifying information about the visitor) with a third-party?

False equivalence, no online stalking company actually works like that (that would require a server-side hook). They all make the visitor go to the third party's desk and increase the tally themselves (via http request), giving the tracker company access to all the contact details of the visitor.

The fundamental issue here is probably sharing with a different nation. If google would be german, they would have no problems with it.
