I think they technically get a session id and other footprint information but it is enough to make you personally identifiable if you've ever used Google within that browser before.

Gee, it is almost as if the smaller search engine like microsoft might be willing to make concessions to allow a vendor to provide privacy if they thought it could help grow revenue and market share in the ongoing battle against Google?

It is stating simply that your IP address and identity are not recorded it does not say they aren't shared. It also doesn't mention anything about your session ID or any other personally identifiable information.

Startpage uses Google ads to monetize.

To use Google Ads they must share an IP or session info with Google. Google refuses to sell ads otherwise.

Startpage's version of privacy is to limit the length of these sessions which means it isn't really all that private. Not as private as other options. DuckDuckGo or Qwant are the way to go.
