Sorry I should have asked a better question: do the alleged trackers use low level tools that would bypass incognito (e.g. IP address, fingerprinting) to join your information with your non-incognito profile?

Yes. Browser have been making partial attempts to resist this, but it's an intractable problem in general -- You can't interact with a website without leaking information about yourself. Using a trusted proxy that serves many people can help.
