It is not conspiracies.win itself. It is a thumbnails of twitter images posted by participants. Seems that engine of *.win use some twitter API's to get them. And each time your browser loads that thumbs from twitter, twitter tries to track you. Use uBlockOrigin and disable twitter.com requests here.

that doesn't answer my question, why is this site trying to track me? for what purpose?

why is there no disclaimer for that?

I don't know the answer. I'm not on the technological side of things here.
