I'm one of those extremely against ads people who use an adblocker all the time, or pay for services that allow me to in order to remove ads. That said, I still click on accept for those cookie dialogs.

I think it's entirely fair that someone track me on their own web property, or within their own application. Cross-site tracking is not wonderful, unless it's between a collection of related products from the same product suite. But overall I think it's a huge misstatement to say that people who are against ads are also rabid anti-track-anything people.

Within product tracking is both useful and important for helping companies improve their products. And often it's crucial for security, to detect attacks and the like.
