Yeah I just browse with a profile that deletes all cookies and history when I close the browser. Then just accept or dismiss all those stupid cookie consent popups.

I've seen many of consent forms mention tracking beyond cookies and cross-devices.

Are you sure that by accepting you aren't just accepting legally to continue to be tracked with all other means?

If true, then deleting cookies only cause them to ask again next time, but you're still fully tracked.

See https://www.kompyte.com/blog/5-ways-to-identify-your-users-w... (just found it) for examples of tracking without cookies.
