hosts-blocklists
Discontinued Automatically updated, moderated and optimized lists for blocking ads, trackers, malware and other garbage
Websites that use CNAME to forward their main domain to some tracking company, basically give their entire domain away, I don't see how that is a good secure way to track your users..
DNSCrypt-proxy (and even pihole these days I believe) are actually capable of blocking forwarded CNAME requests. Setting up such system for network wide adblocking is not complicated at all, see: https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists/wiki/Install-...

NextDNS.io (sort of pihole as a service) unwraps those too.
For instance, if using the AdGuard base filter set, www.cultofmac.com is blocked for being CNAMED to www-cultofmac-com.ezoic.net which is blocked by the AdGuard base filter.
Here’s a wiki for setup for most routers, see Supported Platforms at the bottom:
