The `Use-As-Dictionary` response header can attach an arbitrary ID to arbitrary requests from the same origin (that match a given pattern) without having to access the underlying response. This allows non-executable responses to attach a tracking ID to an origin that behaves like a cookie without having to execute code (image-only origins for example).

To keep things consistent with dev expectations and CSP, the security and privacy teams requested that they also be treated as cookies and not be allowed in situations where cookies would not have been allowed.
