But, this behavior does not protect your privacy at all, because those websites already put tracking information in your cookies claiming that they fall into “Legitimate Interest”.

You are correct, but just some additional information: Those cookie banners are illegal under GDPR, btw.

An example of legitimate interest is keeping your address in the records after a purchase, or storing a receipt for accounting reasons.
