By organizations with whom I have initiated contact? Storing, for the sake of argument, merely my IP address and the timestamp of my visit?

Yes, obviously. I don’t even know how I would construct a system that didn’t record this data this merely in the act of serving up the information.

It’s like demanding that the grocery store hand you an invisibility cloak as a condition of your shopping there.

it’s like demanding that the grocery clerk not resell the fact that i shopped there that day to a third party for commercial purposes

you could have just answered the question directly and said “yes, it’s ok with me that when i visit a web page, that information is resold to third parties”

look, i’m very aware that i can’t do a damn thing with my cash card or browser without it being knowable and re-sell-able

i just don’t know why i should think that that’s just fine
