Sort of. Cookies track you as an individual with a unique identifier. The conversion report only tracks anonymized aggregate statistics that can't be used to identify you as an individual.

This sounds a lot like “you’re getting analyzed by AI/ML, tied to a specific bucket of similar users, then your continued data expands the bucket, splitting off into different adhoc buckets of similar users”

If so, you can’t be tied to a specific purchase but you can be so tightly grouped it’s basically the same.

Combined with the other 200+ tracking points from your machine... Yes, yes you can be identified.
