Using a combo of Ad Blocker Plus and NoScript in Firefox helps reduce that significantly, without all the popups. But yeah, it's hard to use the Internet and not get tracked by a bunch of different entities you know nothing about.
Which gives further proof that my earlier statement rings true:

I'm not naive enough to think all privacy policies reflect what a company is actually doing, but I'm surprised that people think Google protects their privacy at the same time they practically admitting they're selling your digital soul to whoever will pay for it.
