Yes. Because cookies are used for tracking and can be set without the aid of Javascript.
For anyone interested, cookies pre-date Javascript and are baked in the HTTP protocol by way of a Set-Cookie header that the browser responds to by storing whatever information accompanies the Set-Cookie header; usually a unique id that can then be used to track what pages on a domain you visit.
uMatrix once again to the rescue. It can block cookies. The only downside to uMatrix is that it dis-/allows based on su domain, so you can’t accept a log-in cookie and reject the tracking cookie, if they are served by the same subdomain.
Is that needed if ublock already stops all the tracking scripts from loading?

uMatrix is unmaintained since 2021, that’s another downside
