Am I able to block certain updates from being installed on my PC?

So there are these updates in Windows 8 that include lots of spyware, telemetry and how they want to "collect info to improve their services" and I don't want this. So what I did was disable Windows updates completely to "Check for updates but let me choose to download them" and delete the unwanted updates, but this isn't very good because my system needs security updates and now I'm not choosing to install any new ones at all because I know that the unwanted updates will just reinstall with all the other new ones that may come out

So I was wondering, is there a way I can just block certain updates from being installed and still install the ones I want and need?
