How else would you describe a login token? It's literally data in the browser for tracking who that user is and identifying them to the server!
All I'm doing is highlighting is that it's not as simple as some of these jUsT bAN cOoKIes folks would have you believe.
Blocking technologies that are used for invidious ad-tech will make it more difficult to support legitimate use-cases. Sleazy ad-merchants like Google will move on to something else built into the browser https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/2021-01-privacy-sandbox/ https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/2021-01-privacy-sa... and normal site developers will be left in the lurch.
IMHO there isn't a technological solution to this problem, the only effective answer is regulation & hefty fines that make unethical tracking also unprofitable.
