My hunch is that it’s not explicitly provided to the website by the browser, but there are ways to measure what the zoom level is using JavaScript on the page.

One could use element.getBoundingClientRect and similar APIs to measure what size certain elements are rendered at and compare that with their default size for instance.

The resulting zoom level can then be used as a signal for fingerprinting.
