    Yes. Because cookies are used for tracking and can be set without the aid of Javascript.

    For anyone interested, cookies pre-date Javascript and are baked in the HTTP protocol by way of a Set-Cookie header that the browser responds to by storing whatever information accompanies the Set-Cookie header; usually a unique id that can then be used to track what pages on a domain you visit.

      uMatrix once again to the rescue. It can block cookies. The only downside to uMatrix is that it dis-/allows based on su domain, so you can’t accept a log-in cookie and reject the tracking cookie, if they are served by the same subdomain.

        uMatrix is unmaintained since 2021, that’s another downside
