As the adult you can just make your own user account with your age and log out when you're done.

I am so sick of needing to make an account for every single thing so they can track me as an individual.

Making your own user account on a shared PC is just common sense. That way you can customize it for yourself and your kids don't have to see your and your wife's private photos.

Ok and you can still do that without this law.
