By clicking accept you opt into all kinds of tracking, not just cookies. You can't delete tracking data stored on the server.

This comes down to what you care about. Third party tracking is largely stopped by uBlock Origin, which is my primary concern. If the server I'm currently on does anything to analyze my browsing, that's fine with me. Not because I don't care, but because there's nothing I can do either way. It could lie about it and I would be none the wiser.

Some of us don’t care about this. It’s always worked like that and it doesn’t bother us. We just want to access the information that we are interested in.

tracking data server-side relies on a persistent cookie on the client. if you delete the cookie, the link is severed.
