It's a fair question.

Mainly, they'd have a much harder time basing a defense on having had my consent, should I have cause to sue them down the line.

I didn't sign any new agreements of theirs, either.

The manager did of course check that all the relevant knobs and dials in their system able to be turned off were set as such.

And it caused them some minor grief. If enough of us were to push back like this, the grief might grow sufficiently for them to do something about (like maybe recognize nobody wants these godawful policies and there's a great business opportunity for companies that decide to build a brand premised on customer respect).

I see, its better than nothing indeed. The only grief you can cause them that actually matters is moving your money though, but I'm not sure there's any bank that doesn't do similar tracking.

But did you actually try to find a better bank not sending your data to Facebook? In EU, these should exist.
