This is incorrect. Dynamic Public IP addresses are shifted all the time. Device fingerprinting is what matters.
Your public IP is irrelevant because it’s the device inside your local network that matters. IP addresses are shuffled around all the time. However if your device exhibits behaviors that are consistent across multiple visits across multiple sites then you can be fingerprinted.
Your public IP address is a single address that may apply to many many different devices. Your IP address can change daily. In fact there is a decent chance that if you reboot your router you’ll end up with a different IP address.
The only reliable way to track you is using fingerprinting.
