BROWSER_FINGERPRINT
A unique identifier generated from your device's hardware and software characteristics
This fingerprint is generated using stable browser artifacts (Canvas, Audio, Fonts). It remains consistent across incognito sessions and cookie clearing.
Websites use fingerprinting to track you without cookies. If your fingerprint is unique, you are easily identifiable.
HOW_FINGERPRINTING_WORKS
Browser fingerprinting collects information about your device (screen size, fonts, GPU, timezone, etc.) and creates a unique hash. Unlike cookies, this identifier cannot be deleted and persists across private browsing sessions.
What is browser fingerprinting?
Browser fingerprinting is a technique websites use to identify you by collecting information about your browser, device, screen, fonts, and other characteristics. Unlike cookies, fingerprints can track you even in incognito mode.
Is my fingerprint unique?
Most browser fingerprints are unique or semi-unique. Factors like screen resolution, installed fonts, WebGL renderer, and timezone combine to create a distinctive signature that can identify you among millions of users.
How can I protect against fingerprinting?
Use privacy-focused browsers like Brave or Firefox with anti-fingerprinting settings. Browser extensions like Canvas Blocker can help, but may break some websites. Tor Browser provides the strongest protection.
Can fingerprinting track me without cookies?
Yes. That's the main purpose of fingerprinting. Even if you clear cookies, use private browsing, or disable JavaScript, advanced fingerprinting techniques can still identify your device with high accuracy.
