Fingerprinting question.

I was playing recently with Cyberghost's "anti-fingerprinting"..

What i came cross was interesting, wondering if anyone can shed some light.
I was using firefox with "ixquick" set as my home page and search engine. Upon engaging the anti-fingerprinting system and opening firefox, i was met on my ixquick homepage with almost blank page that read "sorry, we do not allow features as such, as you could be bot or spam"

I could not use the anit-fingerprinting system on any of "ixquicks" services.
Now if they truly do not store IP's, cookies ect, why were they stopping this feature again? Believe it or not, the anti-fingerprinting system worked fine of google search, bing, yahoo.. ect

I was already cautious with a site that would not fully reveal itself, to stumble upon this.. any feed back is welcome!
