It is impossible to hide from big corporate. People tried (1). There is no was to block all tracking unless you go full luddite and unless every single person you know or simply met randomly does so too. Otherwise big corps would just create tracking profiles for you based on activity of others. Small recent example - remember that russian spying app FaceApp (iirk) which made aged pics out of your photos? Even if you avoided it there is rather high chance that your friends uploaded pictures of you instead. Or that phone caller ID app (which is a spyware inside too) - even if you never used it they still know your number probably because others filled it in for you.
