As Mike pointed out, it is unlikely that DNS sets a cookie,
Assuming that somebody wanted to use DNS to set a cookie, how would they
go about it? Your browser doesn't interact with the DNS service
directly, it asks your networking to set up a connection with a server
and that uses DNS to translate the machine name into an IP address and
make the connection. Google's DNS servers can't set or use a cookie on
your browser both because they don't interact with it and because the
DNS protocol doesn't have any way of setting or retrieving a cookie.
Yes, I know that you aren't claiming that Google's DNS servers are
manipulating evercookies, I'm just using your comment as a hook to
describe just how absurd the idea is. It's just as foolish as thinking
that you can get a STD by watching a video of unprotected sex.
