Yet another reason to purge cookies often :) Everytime I log into a site that I want to buy something from, I always clear cache, cookies, logins before and after using that site. Yes it can be a PITA, but I think that stops other sites from looking to see what WEB sites you really care about.
I'm not understanding this. If I use the "Tor Browser Bundle" and never use that browser for anything but Tor, and never log in to anything on that browser, how can they track me?
I’m not aware of any sandbox escape attack for the Tor browser, but I am no expert. If there is one, even limited, it’d probably be enough to figure out a way to track you down.

Does Tor Browser disable cookies ? I think not. You don’t have to login to be given a cookie that’s then stored and tracked across each new IP that Tor cycles through.

Install a cookie autodelete extension. That will let you whitelist cookies you want for persistent logins and discard the rest. They can usually be configured to purge on tab closing.

What is the benefit of an extension over just configuring your browser to delete cookies by default?

I've opted to just incognito the majority of my browsing. Likewise it's annoying to keep logging in and sometimes I wish I had something from my history. On the other hand, I never have to worry about cookies

You only have to mess up once. Google has programs where they can identify budding extremists and correlate behavior to medical diagnoses without HIPAA exposure. If your secret weird shit that you’re doing with Tor is of interest, they’ll eventually get a profile. Using Tor is like setting off the bat signal.
The fact that we tolerate this shit is unbelievable.
