So cool that you built that!
Here's what Google says about cookies in incognito mode:
"If you use Chrome in incognito mode (or in guest mode on Chrome OS), it will not transmit any pre-existing cookies to sites that you visit. Sites may deposit new cookies on your system while you are in these modes; these cookies will only be temporarily stored and transmitted to sites while you remain in incognito / guest mode. They will be deleted when you close the browser, close all open incognito windows or exit guest mode."

I first noticed that FB might be able to detect sites you visit while in incognito mode when I noticed that I was personally being retargeted by sites I visited in incognito mode while on Facebook. Here's an interesting quora thread I found while looking into it:
"Also the cookies act too important role here. Cookies during Incognito Mode are saved in temporary folder, and they get purged after session ends. But when browsing Facebook and Google in the same session, they both share same cookies folder and cookies help to send tailored ads to users."

Curious for your take.
