You can go to my ISP with a warrant and ask for their records. Which means that interestingly an IP address is only PII if the entity that holds it can lawfully request that information.

Using that logic, a browser fingerprint would also be PII if the ad network can use it to determine who you are, or presumably if they can link it to other PII.
