What does "Incognito / Private mode detection" mean?

If I open an incognito window in Chrome (OSX 87.0.4280.141), run the supercookie demo, close all incognito windows, and open/run the demo again, I get a different fingerprint.

Only when I keep an incognito window open does the fingerprint stay the same.

Cookies seem to behave the same way.

Count yourself lucky then. On older Chrome builds (here 69.0.3497.120 of a Chromebook Pixel which doesn't receive updates anymore), it works just as the author claims.
