They wouldn’t see what sites you give the tokens to — unless those sites choose to phone home, for some reason.

  • You log in to the government site
  • You ask for a token to prove your age/gender/whatever
  • You copy the token
  • You go to the age/gender-restricted site
  • You provide the token
  • The restricted site asks the government site how to verify any arbitrary token (but doesn’t mention your specific token)
  • The restricted site verifies the token
  • source
  • parent
