Don't forget: Google AdSense, DoubleClick, Google Hosted Libraries (jQuery etc.), Google Maps Embeds, Google DNS servers, ...

I'd bet Google can track you on ~80% of all websites.

Does anybody know of studies that analyze the reach of these direct/indirect tracking capabilities?

Hey Thomas!

Long time no see... what is it, 6 years or so? There's a blast from the past...

I totally forgot about DoubleClick and DNS, I'll update the post.

Hey Jacques, I think it's even more than 7 years :). Reading a lot of your stuff, hope we'll meet again soon!

I should be in your hometown somewhere in the next few months, drop me a line at [e-mail] with your cell number in it and I'll buy you dinner.

These as startling statistics, roughly corresponding to the number in the linked blog post. Add to that that they can also probably analyse ~50% of meaningful e-mails (depending on the region) [1].
