There are different shades of "local" on the user's machine.  E.g. I think
one of the purposes of QLOG was to provide transparency about what
applications are doing by resurrecting the side reporting channel (which
existed ad-hoc before the applications began to carry their own encryption
stacks) to the system.

I personally feel there are different *scopes* of tracking rather than
different types.  The difference is basically that we won't be able to find
a MECE segmentation which won't be biased.
