Maybe I’m getting things backwards here, but wouldn’t disabling cookie persistence actually stop some of the more malicious forms of tracking, where different websites track your activity across websites? I’m not an expert on this specific matter but my understanding was that website A saves a cookie in your browser, which website B then uses to identify you (maybe with some extra steps of shipping that data off to some data broker or w/e but you get the picture). I thought that disabling persistence would stop that from occurring in the sense that once your restart your browser and go to website B, there is nothing from A for them to look at.
