    It’s a brand new device that I used for the first time and I think it happened because I was logged into several other things at the same time to test it.

    Instagram prompted me for the profile I wanted to use while in private mode and that was when I realized that I never provided the password.

        that’s exactly my point – 3rd parties are sharing data w each other enabling tracking that defeats most opsec postures.

          I mean, unless you avoid all the trackers, at least as much as possible. You can at least lessen it if you’re smart about it.
