> Google is known to fingerprint you on their sites[0]

To my understanding, Google (and many other sites) use WebGL and other fingerprinting techniques to distinguish real users from bots.

This does not mean they use it to track individual users (if that were even legal in Europe under GDPR).

Google's tracking consent flow is already in breach of the GDPR, so it's not a problem for them.
