Very few users can detect that they are being tracked, so they can't avoid it. The tracking methods are designed to be undetectable; web beacons are invisible pixels; sites don't tell users: we track this info and share it with these people; even privacy policies usually are ambiguous, and they are too long and complex to read for every site someone visits.
