> Why should it be illegal for me to recognize the way you walk into my store, even though you're wearing a mask and a trenchcoat?

If you have that right, the public should have the right to know you're doing this before they enter your store, so they can avoid it.

Same with the websites, they should, legally, have to say they're about to fingerprint you so that you can close your browser tab and never come back.

There's nothing wrong with websites choosing to comply with particular privacy standards. This should be voluntary and used as a trust signal. A website that promises to follow certain standards should be legally accountable if it breaks that promise, but it should not be mandatory to make such promises.
