I know my browsing habits/history is not private, and I know I am being tracked, even though I use plugins to minimize that.

But having a marketing person send me a personalized email slapping me in the face with that tracking by explicitly telling me that they know what web page I visited on their site... that would be a pretty big turn off for me.

After I send them an email explaining why.
