Google appears to be claiming that because they warn you about 3rd party trackers this is all fine. They are just another 3rd party tracker it seems.

Maybe it's time to stop treating Google like a technology company. They don't seem to be pushing the internet forward, instead every decision makes the internet worse and has to be rallied against. There is very little research going on outside of increasing advertising effectiveness to scale up the size of the stock buybacks. Watching them continually screw up products like hangouts and chat and stadia and then just abandon them to increase stock buybacks yet again is just infuriating.

Maybe it's time to start treating Google like they are just another annoying 3rd party tracker. That seems to be what they want now.
