alt Hacker NewsI don’t understand why that would be an implicit agreement, though? Why would I expect that the website would not try to figure out who I am?
They are free to remember whatever they want about my request… but I am also free to modify the request however I want, if I choose to randomize the list of fonts or choose to not send it or whatever.

Website is a good dog. But its owners don’t have to be good as they can re-sell data about you to someone else.
Some sites can have more than 1,000 partners - you can explore their intentions in cookies consent window.

For the same reason I expect my neighbor not to kill me or steal my shit. We live in a society, with societal expectations around behaviour. I, personally, would prefer not to live in an uncivilized jungle where the only rule is "do whatever you can get away with".
