The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has now launched Panopticlick 3.0, the new version of its browser privacy auditor. The update adds tests for additional trackers including ones from the "Acceptable Ads" program. That is on top of the original function of browser fingerprinting, which is pattern of visible data such as web headers, canvas attributes, cookies, scripts, and other attributes.
Check panopticlick.eff.org to test how well your own browser is or isn't protecting you.

No you don't. It redirects me to a bunch of "blah.tld/something-something-nojs", but if I click "allow" for all redirects, it works.
I run the full paranoia suite of NoScript, AdBlock, RequestPolicy, Ghostery, and User Agent spoofing. All but four of the tests give a "no javascript" result.

You can swap out 4 of those with uMatrix. But if you are going to keep Adblock and Ghostery, at least turn off acceptable ads and Ghostery's tracking.

Yeah, I know. I've been using these for so long, I'm reluctant to swap.

It wouldn't be full paranoia if I left those on :)
