I reiterate what has been said, i.e. that the information stays within SoylentNews and is not shared with marketers or any other third party.
However, it requires Javascript, and therefore will track only those who have Javascript enabled.
One reason I came here from Slashdot, is that the abomination that is Beta requires Javascript, and I browse with Javascript off for performance, privacy and security reasons.

Generally, those with Javascript disabled are those who would have the most issue with being tracked even for our own internal purposes. There are other ways to collect information from piwik such as hidden image but my rough guess is less than 1-2% disable javascript on the site, so the numbers by and large would be accurate.
My thought is if you don't run JS, you don't want to be tracked, and don't want to be executing foreign code. I can respect that, and this provides a nice middle ground.

Don't like to be tracked nor have foreign code executed. But more importantly and more practically, I don't want my CPU usage going up and the fan whirring just because there is crappy code on many sites. Mainly it is Flash stuff, but that often gets loaded via Javascript from ad servers.

FWIW, the overwhelming reason I disable javascript is to avoid malware. For all intents and purposes, every browser exploit over the last 15 years has had javascript as a necessary component. Completely self-hosting exploits (like a corrupt gif that does a stack-smash on the gif parser) can be counted with the fingers on one hand. Disabling javascript protects against malware served from 3rd parties like ad networks as well as if the site itself has been secretly compromised.
The plugin I use to avoid data-stalking is primarily requestpolicy [requestpolicy.com] which stops cross-site requests so that whether it is a simple web-bug or a giant set of javascript functions, my browser doesn't even load them.
I'd like to think I'm not unique in making this analysis and that most people who disable javascript do it for security first. So I hope you will take that perspective into account when thinking about improvements to soylent -- the temptation to start using javascript is very strong and it is easy to believe that soylent's own server will always be trustworthy. But having a site's own server hacked to install drive-by malware is a very common attack, so trusting javascript from any source is a security risk.
