Somewhere amongst them is a server where they can set a cookie in a browser.Except, of course, for the fact that most servers aren't running browsers, and if they are, that cookie will identify them, not you. The point I was making, and you didn't address is that there is no way to use the DNS protocol to set or retrieve a cookie in an end-user's browser.
Perhaps more telling is that with several browsers on a single connection the cookies must be associated with a browser to matter.
With FireFox profiles it should be possible to generate some "confusion" in the evercookie world by using separate browsers for various sites you visit regularly with one or more additional profiles for various other activities. They won't have the same cookies. So tracking is more difficult.
That said, Verizon has an IP header they put on traffic to track the sites you visit if not the content. I suspect privacy is a concept that will die out over time.
