For example, if:
- I’m on a tracking website like Linkedin
- I log out and close the browser
- I turn on the vpn and open the same browser
- I create a Spotify account
Is it possible that Spotify will give me targeted ads based on my home IP due to the cookies?
Thanks in advance
cookies are just text. they could literally contain an ip address or a hash or other identifier that refers to one.
spotify can’t directly obtain data from a linkedin cookie. but ad networks and other ‘third parties’ could provide ‘targeting’ or even identifying information to them.
use a different browser profile, or better–an entirely different browser–for vpn browsing.
