With an increased focus on privacy thanks to revelations of massive
spying by the NSA, computer users are (or should be) increasingly
concerned about their security online. Most of us know about cookies,
small pieces of data sent from a website and stored in a Web browser.
These cookies enable sites to learn information about your location and
browsing history. And while a user can disable cookies, a method called
device or browser fingerprinting can identify users even without
cookies.
