If you are logged in to Google and visited YouTube earlier that day they already know that you are behind IP X with device Z and use that information later on by connecting it with the font API key of mydomain.de

Remember that your user agent is sent as well.

Pretty sure the font URL is a static link that doesn't require an "API key"
