Supermarkets were the original trackers of users and first to start using personas. They are tracking you with personalized coupons redemptions, loyalty programs and through digital payments. Tesco's personalization is so good they can tell if you started a diet or are dating someone new.
Printed newspapers are disappearing. Ad supported news sites need tracking for ad targeting otherwise there isn't enough ad revenue to support their business.

Supermarkets are a bad example here because they are a critical link in the distribution economy.
Google? Not so much
