Some of us think a browser acts as a User Agent. It's supposed to be on our side, not the side of the website.

(Under your analogy maybe the store is putting a beacon in my pocket.)

In this case the agent would be well a literal agent. Nobody is requiring your agent to walk around and advertise who you are, to accept every cookie or display an advert on its shirt while walking around the store for you
