It hasn't made me stop visiting any sites because the banners are almost omnipresent, but I've started using incognito mode way more, so I can blindly accept whatever the site wants me to.


An ad provider might connect your incognito session with your regular session. Especially if you blindly click “accept”, since then you might agree to being tracked across sessions and devices.


Well, many sites include cookies to link devices as required cookies anyway. So even if you reject the rest, you are still accepting some form of "device linking". It's hopeless.


A clickbaitey site I visited recently detected incognito mode and would not let me in. I don't remember if it had a simple overlay or missing content, since I immediately went away.
