And if you did not already know this:

The list of preferred languages can be used for browser-fingerprinting, reducing your privacy even if you reject cookies, etc. Especially if your list is long and detailed.

Because of this, many browsers have features to prevent this, sometimes enabled by default. In this case, websites only get to know your primary language, making the list basically useless.

Depending on your priorities, you might want to check and enable / disable those features.
