My site is a Track Fest

Seems that my site is a Track Fest, this was pointed out to me
by a user who was very dejected about it so I decided to look
into it myself.
All users of my site are being tracked by the following
companies:
Google Adsense (This makes sense since Google Ads are active on
the site)
But what about the rest ? and why ?
Gigya
Viglink
Quantcast
MediaMath
AdNexus
Doubleclick
Media Innovation Group
Collective Media
Cross Pixel Media
Can my site be removed from these trackers ? since it's a little
unsavoury for myself and my forum users and I find it rather
embarassing to be honest. What can be done to remove these
trackers ?
Thanks guys
PS.. I don't want to recommend blocking software to my users

Can't be removed. That is a condition of keeping a free forum
with us. They are all ad networks, intergrations, or site
trackers.
If they are paranoid about being tracked they need to stay off
the internet.

Unlimited Ad Free plan will remove the tracking ?
It's nothing to do with the tracking per se as everyone knows
they're likely to be tracked sooner or later unless they install
anit-tracking software.
It falls into the realms of Forum Etiquette, and good Forum
Etiquette certainly does not force tracking cookies upon thier
users.

No. It would remove some of them but not all
These for sure would remain.
Gigya - Social networking
Viglink - Link revenue
Cross Pixel Media - stat tracker
Quantcast - stat tracker
I would suggest to disable cookies in the browser as workaround
not sure if the four will work well though.
