This might be a dumb question so apologies in advance. I'm looking into degoogled phones but haven't taken the plunge yet. If I logged in and used the aurora store to get apps I paid for in the past, will that ''regoogle" my device and allow google to track me again through signing in and using those apps?

Any app purchased from the Google Play Store needs to be downloaded and updated from the same in order for the paid functionality to work. Alternatively, download it cracked from somewhere else and risk potentially getting an infected app.
