Steps to reproduce:
Surf to www.nytimes.com and view any article in a private window.
Actual results:
asks to sign up becuse it won't allow reading in private mode without an account.
I do not know how they are detecting private windows.
Expected results:
nytimes.com should have no idea whether I'm using a private window.
