Chrome used to store 'zoom level' for URLs even if you were in incognito mode: and in plain text. Not sure if it still does.... (if you changed the zoom level for a site while in incognito from the default, it would save the value and the associated URL).

Whew. That gives the site extra bits of information to connect you to your real identity/account.
