    You cant. To not use them you just dont use the forums.

    In what way? Badges are simply issued for how often you interact on here. There is no link to you personally with them in way nor are the identifiable to you.

    Every company will track what you are doing (hence, if in EU those blinking irritating cookie consent boxes!). As for summarizes, to be honest I have never known anybody ever look at them!
