"Cannot be stopped"

What a crock.

All you have to do is care enough to install a proper gateway firewall that can intercept and block these requests before they leave your network.

Companies will only encroach more and more on your privacy all the while telling you there's nothing wrong and it can't be disabled and that its just a little bit of your privacy [that they're forcibly stealing].

Stop being complicit in it and do something about it. You'll feel much better about everything when you do.
