Browser fingerprinting allows you to identify uniquely a browser and thus the user. This usually means that VPN and incognito mode will not help you to "change you identity".
One example I know well is AudioContext fingerprinting with a demo available here: https://audiofingerprint.openwpm.com/ https://audiofingerprint.openwpm.com/
There are also worse fingerprinting methods that work cross-browsers.
