Truly open culture does not accept tracking

The purpose of the tracking matters, though. Truly open culture also doesn't attempt fraud, DoS attacks, data breaches, and all the other nasty things that some people who are hoping not to get caught and punished do online. Unless you can prevent all such threats, it's unreasonable to expect websites whose operators might be held responsible for the consequences not to monitor how their own systems are being used and who is using them.
