There are companies tracking the SSID of my phone with wifi beacons to find out which stores I was physically visiting. How do I opt-out of that?
Sorry to bring the tired "you're not the customer, you're the product" line, but the way the industry is set up today, I'm starting to doubt there is so much difference between the two options.
Tracking and data collection is baked into so many services nowadays that you'd have to be extremely attentive as a consumer to avoid any tracking - also be prepared to face a lot of inconveniences and restrictions. If possible at all.
