Interesting, I do not face any such kind of notification upon visiting YouTube incognito. Additionally, this sort of agreement is what I meant about "murmurs about ToS/EULA" that get brought up. Nowhere in that disclosure is there anything like "hey there, you are expected to: download this data/let us display certain content/look with your eyes at certain content in order for us to give you this content". Instead, it's a disclosure about what they're HOPING to get from you while you are there (data). Maybe they try to slip it into the ToS linked down there at the bottom, but that's not required and does not form a contract with the audience at all.
I am served this when going to YouTube, which I have to agree to:
