Info via zaduzbina, who got it from copperbadge:

6Apart would like to mine you for information. Doesn't that sound like fun?

If not, go to your Admin console and paste in "set opt_exclude_stats 1" without the quotation marks. That will opt you out of the mining. Otherwise you're automatically in.

If you happen to be among those who would like SixApart to know you're a fan, perhaps you don't want to opt out. YMMV.

And you're "automatically in" to the pool from which they'll pick some random 5%, not necessarily you.

Oh yes, I read the full notice (which I included a link for in my post). And yes, the 5% is random. But I'm not a fan of anything in an active sense, so they'd just be wasting their time using my profile.
