      I’d wager selling your data as an additional income stream is one of the primary reasons some studios do it in the first place.

        This is why a lot of sites demand an account log in if the user disables cookies (or at least they did for a while). They need those cookies to link the activity to a user, and since they can’t do that secretly anymore, they just force the issue with a user account the user “chooses” to make.

      Just don’t enter any real info, and use a spam email address.
