Bruh you really just reinvented tracking cookies

Did I? I'm not sure how. The person visiting would only use the verification request once. It's only good for a single request. How could this be used for tracking?

You didn't... If anything you've described something closer to OAuth or JWT. You're just getting hit by people who don't know how cookies actually work.
