...by 42 floors. They're still telling all those networks that I visited the website.

I can't speak for all of those other sites, but at Chartbeat we're vehemently against tracking any sort of personally identifiable information.

Well, there is this: https://mixpanel.com/people/

42floors would have to know who the people are before they could tell Mixpanel. Further, Mixpanel wouldn't reveal that information to any other accounts other than 42floors.
