$5 billion Google lawsuit over ‘Incognito mode’ tracking moves a step closer to trial / Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied Google’s push for a summary judgment in a lawsuit over the way it tracked internet activity even after users switched to ‘Incognito mode.’

There's a difference between "tracked internet activity" and "associated that internet activity with the non-incognito profile".

Of course they "tracked internet activity". The Internet breaks if you disable cookies, so incognito mode has cookies. Cookies track Internet activity.
