If Google put ads into the headers for your gmail, would that require your permission?


Were the ad to pose a security risk, and you, a paying user of Gmail would have no way to opt out, then sure.


Everything that tracks you is a security risk...the only question is whose security are we talking about? The plebeian masses don't deserve security...but the corporate overlords sure as hell need it. What do you think keeps them in power/?
