The funny thing is, the tracking cookies aren't even necessary. There is plenty of data in things like canvas, fonts, GPU capabilities, IP address etc which are perfectly capable of de-anonymising anybody on the web, and the storage for the tracking could be done entirely server side. Cookies are just used for this because devs are lazy.
