Words with Friends (owned by Zynga) is now forcing us to Accept Tracking!!!

I've been playing this game since the COVID lockdown and I love it. I've made friends all over the world. I have never allowed tracking in the app, and I have always declined their requests to track. Recently they created a new pop-up that cannot be closed or deleted. If I want to keep playing the game I have to hit Accept. I tried rebooting my phone (iPhone 14, the only device I play on), but the window kept coming up. I went to a User Forum for the game on FB (which is how I joined originally) because I had seen this problem already. The admin said you could cancel it after you hit Accept. So to my regret I hit Accept.

Then after more research I found out about Privacy Report in Settings > Privacy/Security so I activated it last night. When I started playing this morning I checked the report after about an hour and there were already hundreds of domains that Zynga had sent my tracking information to.

Isn't this illegal? Apps aren't supposed to be able to force tracking. I don't want to quit the game but I also don't want to allow all this tracking. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, because I am kind of freaking out. I've attached a screenshot of the pop up from another user, and 2 screenshots of the Privacy Report (and there was a whole lot longer list).
