No, you won't if it's a new address.
I think you're wrong. When consolidating utxo's, the sender and recipient are exposed on the blockchain. Are you sure?

What do you mean by
exposed on the Blockchain?reply
recorded and available for others to watch.

Bitcoin and generally cryptocurrency Blockchains are public ledgers so
recorded and available for others to watch are fundamental features in everyone of them.What I meant by reusing addresses is a bad practice for privacy was basically described here

So that means you were wrong when you said it:
No, you won't if it's a new address. #786171

I think you just didn’t get @0xbitcoiner‘s point: in the case of consolidation, all inputs are linked together, no matter if he sends them to a new address or not.
I would still use a new address since this slightly increases privacy: with a new address, it is not guaranteed that the output belongs to the same owner of the first address.

Now I get it. Thanks!
I must not be understanding something. What's the difference in terms of privacy in sending all utxo's to a new address or to address 1?
