For example, if:

  1. I’m on a tracking website like Linkedin
  2. I log out and close the browser
  3. I turn on the vpn and open the same browser
  4. 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

    Used for security / device recognition. The MAC address, when exposed is very useful to create highly targeted ads.
