they can't be booked if it is for denying a goalscoring chance as the chance still happened but they can still be book or sent off for serious foul play

That’s actually isn’t quite right. They can be booked if the card would have been red for denying a goal scoring opportunity. However it can’t be red and has to be yellow.
The way I understand it is if you stop a promising attack it’s a caution
If the ref plays on from a spa then the player is not cautioned
However if it’s a reckless tackle and warrants a caution they can both play advantage and caution the player
