You don't need to clear cookies to avoid sending that data back. Just use a browser that properly isolates third party/Facebook cookies.

You don't even need to use a different browser - Firefox has an official "Multi-account containers" extension that lets you assign certain sites to open in their own sandbox so you can have a sandbox for Google, another for Facebook, etc.
So, what's a good strategy for managing containers? I've used this extension for years, and in the past I was a bit more conservative with my containers (personal, work, google, facebook, twitter, banking, etc.) and now I've gone a bit more ... "ham" as they say ... and I have 29. One example is travel, to keep fare searches from pervading news story ads. But I'm sure there's a way to strike a balance that I've just not yet found.
Great idea, I wasn’t even aware and got resigned to the idea tracing is inescapable, but I really need to take that back, even stop using a lot of hostile services. On smartphones it’s even worse.
