If I visit goodreads, or Amazon.com, would I have to delete all of my browsing data on my browser in order for the website to not follow me?

Similarly, will visiting google.com or facebook.com place a cookie, or anything else, on my browser? If so, I can’t keep creating new tabs and then keep browsing, right? I would have to first delete all of the browser data and then I can create new tabs on the browser.

I don’t want to keep browsing the web just because I had visited a Big Tech owned website, although one could say the same for every company website.
