umm.. no.

it doesn't stop tracking, unless the website you're looking at has
agreed to not track you!!

the tracking thing is purely voluntary and happens on the
serverside/ad network side...

all the tracking check does is kind of ask the site to now track you!!

no guarantee that won't happen..

if you really don't want to be tracked. clean out your cookies
regularly, as well as change your dynamic ip address every couple of
hours...

there you go!
