Forget Chrome—Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices In 8 Weeks
Digital fingerprinting is suddenly back and it will be everywhere—here’s what you need to know.
Here is excerpts:
The ICO says that “when you choose an option on a consent banner or ‘clear all site data’ in your browser, you are generally controlling the use of cookies and other traditional forms of local storage. Fingerprinting, however, relies on signals that you cannot easily wipe. So, even if you ‘clear all site data’, the organisation using fingerprinting techniques could immediately identify you again. This is not transparent and cannot easily be controlled. Fingerprinting is harder for browsers to block and therefore, even privacy-conscious users will find this difficult to stop.”
