 You can do these steps for any website to make it forget about you.

Of course, this isn't foolproof agains servers surveilling you. They will use your IP address AND... a "browser fingerprint" where they run random things to time the speed of your hardware and sniff changes in configuration to bud a unique fingerprint that they can always recalculate. Like as if your computer was a signing device and they could always pull out your public key to identify you.

This is why I use Brave... Brave thwarts this fingerprint attack.
