Nothing in the technique described here allows to identify an individual directly or indirectly because 'identifiers' are not unique and really no different than standard 'last-modified' dates. Even if they were unique further data would have to be collected in order to be able to identify individuals and turn everything into personal data.

What the technique may fall foul of, though, are cookie laws.
