For example, if:
- I’m on a tracking website like Linkedin
- I log out and close the browser
- I turn on the vpn and open the same browser
- I create a Spotify account
Is it possible that Spotify will give me targeted ads based on my home IP due to the cookies?
Thanks in advance

Yes but not because of IP, because cookies can store unique information about you.
So if you don’t clear the cookies from the browser session then they still exist and can be read by the website regardless of the VPN.
