They didn't say that tracking is exclusively done with cookies. Cookies are still used to track people online, even if that's not the prefered solution nowadays.

I just tend to allow all cookies nowadays, cookie prompts are blocked by adblocker and cookies are removed at the closing of browser, no broken websites

If the cookies would track me to home, i could have glass of milk with the cookies but if i care so much about website tracking me online i should not be online then
