Or maybe they aren’t so obedient, because this just popped up on the EU page (where I’m using the Tor Browser, and just tried to expand the six variables you might “manage”—not that you’ll have any record of what you agreed to, or way to audit the site’s compliance):

The only cure for this is MyTerms. Full stop. Let’s make it happen.
