If you’re truly worried about that, turn the Internet off and never come back. What you are asking is impossible.
that now has your IP address and your host string, as well as matching your ID to any sales trackers you happen to have, basically all you need to uniquely identify a user across sessions

Incorrect.
Nobody has my IP, self-hosted vpn
My host string changes automatically every 3 minutes, and none of them report my actual system status
Every cookie and cache is purged on close except for a few whitelisted sites, and I regularly run diff scans for evercookies
So yes, it is possible, and is relatively easy to do

And are you also clearing the logs at your ISP? If not, you’re still being tracked. Even vpns are not as secure as people think they are. It’s all trackable at some level.

So what you’re saying is you don’t know what a VPN is, gotcha.
Maybe stop using the word then.
The only person that knows the IP of my VPN is me because I built it and I am the only one who uses it, meaning my ISP doesn’t even know its a VPN, and all the traffic is encrypted so it doesn’t look any different than all the non-vpn cover traffic I create.
Not even the hosting service knows its a VPN, and in any case my host doesn’t keep logs of anything and is not subject to U.S. law
If I was using a public VPN service? Yah I’d be compromised because the access list of every public VPN is constantly being monitored and every time a new IP range is added it is discovered and disseminated within minutes.
So, tell me, I want to hear, how is it you think that I am being tracked. I’m genuinely curious.

All pretty easy to circumvent if you understand privacy. Guess you don’t…

So because I posted cybersecurity standard practices, I don’t understand privacy.
Please explain your logic

Your username is incredibly apropos.
