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

    Cookies are some data that websites store in your browser, its text arranged in key-value pair, it could contain anything.

    But putting an ip address in cookie does not sound something anyone would wanna do as I dont know the purpose of such a thing

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