Only if you keep using the same website again and again and do not delete cookies.

Is it your goal to reduce number of websites that users visit?

I'm sorry you're right, I only used google 2 times last year.. Name 1 internet website that don't care about retention. People usually don't delete cookies at all, and it could be a good pre-signup tool. And if a website that I'd only use once vacuumed all my personal data, I'd really question their ethics
