Once I've found a cashback deal I want to take advantage of, I open up a Chrome incognito window, where extensions are disabled, and go through the process of purchasing. I've never had a cashback offer fail to date doing this.

And that shows how incognito mode is just Google fooling people.

Not 100% sure I follow. Are you suggesting because cashback tracking works in incognito that there's something dubious going on? I know there's been some recent ruling regarding Google and Incognito, but effectively once you launch an incog window, cookies and other data that would otherwise be remembered between browsing sessions is still generated but then purged when the incog window is closed. If cookies didn't work at all in incog mode then most services that required a login would fail to run at all.

It's also the case that extensions are disabled in incog, therefore removing possible problems with essential cashback registering mechanisms being interfered with.

I think it would work similarly in other browsers.

Cookies only need to work on the site you at on. There is no need for them to track you from different site to different site. The fact the cashback tracks shows  there is tracking, so hardly incognito.
I personally block all tracking cookies, except when using cashback sites, for that time I do disable the add on that blocks cookies and also the one that auto delete cookies.
