The payload of a performance.getEntriesByType("navigation") call would then look like:

There would be 2*4*4*4*4=512 possible states encodable, and we'd need to apply kary-randomized response.The flip probability for kary-randomized response is p = k / (k - 1 + exp(epsilon)). This is ~99.6% for k=512 and an epsilon value of 1.1. There are a few options we could consider:
There would be 2 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 512 possible states encodable, and we'd need to apply kary-randomized response.The flip probability for kary-randomized response is p = k / (k - 1 + exp(epsilon)). This is ~99.6% for k=512 and an epsilon value of 1.1. There are a few options we could consider:

1. We could consider regressing the privacy bar, by protecting these attributes separately, but differential privacy algorithms are composable resulting in significantly reduced privacy for the user.
2. Choose a different privacy mechanism than randomized response. This may come at a cost of complexity (both in the mechanism and in the debiasing step).
