Without any JS, a site can use CSS to track and report some information about entered-but-not-submitted text, mouse hovers, and link clicks, as well as performing some simple fingerprinting via resolution, UA, & typefaces.

Much of this can be mitigated by optimistically loading all CSS-referenced content so that none of those loads are conditioned on user behavior.
