That's because the Blogger setting creates a session cookie instead of a persistent cookie. The difference is that the session cookie persist on browser session while persistent cookie persist until it hits an expiration date.
Custom Script
The following script creates a persistent cookie that expires after 90 days. You’ll need to run it on each blog where you want to stop pageview tracking.
function stopBlogPageviewsCount() {
let date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (90 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
let expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();
document.cookie = "_ns=2" + expires + "; path=/";
}
// stop pageviews on this session for 90 days
stopBlogPageviewsCount();
