Let me make sure of the scenario; the page loads 3rd party 'ad' content, with a click-URL that is to a shortener site?  Then the user clicks, and both the shortener site (which does a redirect) and the final site get to know that.  Can they now track?  I think, if we have a "you chose to interact" exception, the answer is 'yes'.
