Are online stores concerned about the collection of anonymous (non-personal) data by modules like AddThis and Pluso, and even paid modules like Serchenise?

In many of my projects, I consider collecting anonymous data as one of the monetization options. In particular, there is an embedded module for online stores. On the one hand, I'm worried that stores may not give permission to collect anonymous data through cookies. On the other hand, any of them has social sharing buttons and many other modules that collect and sell data for further ad retargeting. Monetization through data would make it possible to make a high-quality and useful service even completely free, or many times cheaper than with a regular monthly payment or sales commission.
Do you think there might be problems?

www.cossa.ru/articles/152/47599 - have you read this?
On the site or in readme.txt for 150 kilobytes, write a usage agreement, which will say: by installing this plugin, the user agrees to the processing of statistical anonymized data blah blah. And that's all. If you put it, it means you agreed.
In practice, it is not the store owner who decides which plugin to install (otherwise the same liaison would not have put a plus for himself), but the performer. And in the middle and low price range, if your plug-in solves a problem (and especially if it solves a problem for free that competitors offer by subscription), they simply install it. And the paranoid 1% who remove plugins and rewrite them from scratch for themselves - well, for them, that's exactly the 150 kilobyte agreement they need.
