From [2] RFC 9576 § 4.1 "Shared Origin, Attester, Issuer", right before the sentence you quoted:
> In this model, the Attester, Issuer, and Origin share the attestation, issuance, and redemption contexts.
I haven't read the RFC in detail, but I believe this is where the nuance is: When you enable the privacy pass setting in the extension/browser the redemption context is changed relative to the attestation context by removing the session cookie, to just the information sent by the browser for someone who is not logged in. What remains is your IP address and browser fingerprinting, which can be countered by using Tor.
