Yeah, disabling apps won't stop the scripts from running, and you're right, I don't know any easy way to disable individual scripts on an iPad. I'm sure it can be done, but you might have to root the device, which would void the warranty, and is not for the faint of heart anyway.
You can disable Java entirely under your Safari settings, but there are a lot of sites that require it. The iPad doesn't do Flash, which is inconvenient sometimes, but is one less thing to worry about.
Also remember to delete your browsing and search history (also in Settings:Safari). One of the things that a lot of the tracking scripts do is read your history. The more often you delete it, the less they can see.
