Would you mind explaining why? Sorry if it’s a really obvious answer , but I usually turn on the “do not track” setting whenever I have the option to. Have I inadvertently made myself even more id-able?

The more unique setting options you have make you more easily identifiable. At least that's my understanding.

Yup. It's called browser fingerprinting, and this test will tell you how unique yours is.
