Just use a browser that doesn't save cookies. Then accept all.

...how does that help?
It's just that cookies are only one tool for tracking. When you accept all you consent to tracking but it doesn't necessarily use cookies for that tracking.
Are you trying to suggest that I would be better to just deny the cookies? I don't know what you're trying to say by linking to that article.
Device fingerprinting as a technique it's pretty easy to defeat. There are plenty of privacy focused browsers that will also include device fingerprinting protection. In fact pretty much any browser that doesn't store cookies will also do this device fingerprinting protection as well.
It's really hard to know how efficient a device fingerprinting protection is.
