You have just handed every website operator the capability to home in on your child's birth date. Age, combined with sampling over time, leaks birth date. If you add an X-jurisdiction-advise header (presumably so we can do lookups to figure out what laws are in force that we'd have to respect), you'd leak uour zipcode eventually. Creating a bunch of sites to do marketing shenanigans and demographic analysis via matching your traffic with other fingerprint data leaks, can lead to a reasonable approximation of gender over time.
Congratulations, you've now managed to leak enough datapoints to be deanonymized.
Do not do this.
It is also a super terrible user experience, since now, changing the driver of the web browser requires what amounts to a login.
I repeat, do not go down this road, there are bad things there.
