This can be applied to many websites. Google and Meta tag tracking data into nearly every link they bring you for popular sites, namely any shopping site. They're boasting how many clicks they garnered for a merchant while obviously building your massive online profile.

In Google's case, there's also massive finder's fee fraud for ads. I search a specific few products to research them but don't buy any. I now get ads all the time for them. I then buy one a week later. Google says to the seller they brought me there and takes a commission. All those borderline-unavoidable tracking tags have tied anl served ad I don't remember to a product I was going to buy anyway
