Breach of privacy - seller is notified that I have looked at their item | Buying

Today I have logged in to my account and I have seen an "offer" from a seller of an item I had previously viewed. I did not watch the item, I simply browsed it once. Upon contacting "customer service", I have been advised that sellers can enable the option to auto contact people browsing their listings and make offers to them. This is a breach of privacy. If I am browsing listings, there is an expectation that I am doing so anonymously. How do I prevent sellers from knowing that I am looking at their items?
