You make your choices and I make mine. Should a person make the informed choice to immerse themselves in the web as-is with all its problems & risks, ok, but most people just pick the easy path then bitch after. I'm not one of them, and straight out refusal is in fact a viable option for me.
If I do need anything more, there's VMs. BTW what 'fun and inspiring information' do you refer to? Shadertoy is a loss I grant, but what else?
If you miss Shadertoy it won't be hard to imagine other similar things, of which there are plenty. Anything that requires interactivity beyond the one provided by HTML & CSS will obviously require Javascript. Any personalized experience (not only suggestions which yes are evil, but also personal storage) will obviously require cookies to function.
Deleting Cookies on exit (and/or at regular intervals) will probably not help much in terms of avoiding tracking, especially if you log back in using your reinitialized cookies.

which again you don't give.

jeez, no shit, I get it.

Whatever.
You just persistently don't get it. These are my choices. I made them carefully. They suit me. They may not suit you. We could even compromise if you made an effort to see what I'm after but you won't/can't. Now please try to understand I'm not you, and just back off!
