Earlier quoted context omitted.
Stop being so hysteric, if you want to avoid first-party analytics then don't use the service , if someone reads my blog I have the full right to find out how long my articles are read. Protesting against first-party tracking is like protesting against visitor counters in shops and security cameras, luddism.
Calling someone who cares about his own privacy "hysteric" and rehashing the same tired old arguments (which inevitably boil down to "if you don't want me to do this, just make sure you don't touch my website even once!") doesn't do your position, whatever it is, a whole lot of justice.
By that logic even Apache access logs are a privacy attack. Don't fall into fear mongering either, come on.
