Target review: Online web tracking

I frequently shop Target Online and I do not like getting blank screens on search and sort requests. Upon checking, Target is tracking customer request, for example, those prevented from tracking me and causing blank screens were: js-sec.indexww.com pub.doubleverify.com edge.curalate.com resources.digital-cloud.medallia.com ..urepubads.g.doubleclick.net etc. As a customer and former developer, trust in Target is not there as I and other customers do not like to be spied upon for our searches. This is very "cheesy", insulting to us and quite frankly, not secure. It wastes our time and prevents us from timely and accurate result screens and selections. I have cancelled out of items only to go to Walmart (which also does some but limited tracking) and order there. Is there an option in a customer's profile to opt out of tracking and 3rd party requests such as target.scene7.com assets.targetimg1.com ponos.zero.naught.com? If not, I'll continue to take my online shopping elsewhere.
