Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information.

Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can't believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won't be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.

Also have a California ip you get a different privacy policy.

If you buy something nowadays and it connects to the Internet, it's bad. Treat it like it's bad. VLAN it, firewall it, force it to use your DNS only and block everything until it breaks then figure out what it actually needs.

Don't give it internet, return it if it “needs” internet.

What you're doing is a losing battle; once internet connected everything is normalised they'll stop working if you block tracking and suddenly you're the weird one.

Instead, vote with your wallet, talk with others about how annoying/bad this is and get them to vote with their wallets, too!
