You can be tracked without cookies (or localstorage) trivially, it is commonplace.
You'd have to block requests to third parties. This is hard because it breaks most websites - all those that rely on cdns. You can wade through this with a script blocker like ublock origin and a whitelist but you don't really know what's happening unless you investigate each domain and script.
Even then you'd still be exposed to fingerprint tracking served through the original domain passing on to a third party at the back end.
Tracking isn't fixable with technological solutions alone.
- LadyCailin 5y agoPeople suggesting a user-based solution to this problem is like someone suggesting “well, you should just comprehensively read the terms of service and privacy policy for every website and product you use, and if you don’t agree, don’t use the site.” It’s an absurdly naive solution at best, and downright malicious solution at worst. In any case, people who believe this should be in the hands of the user don’t give a shit about the user, either actually or practically.
