Im pretty sure all of big tech have ways to access persistent device id's that break any kind of anonymity given by vpn's and tor.

Any more info on things like undeletable cookies?

You'd learn more by searching the term. I just read an article about the new 'super cookies', and other techniques to surveil and track people across the internet.

Hardware profiling is another, where the configuration of your device and the software installed on it can create a profile unique to you.

There ought to be a comprehensive privacy guide that covers stuff like this.
