Description: Browser fingerprinting is a technique used to track users based on the unique characteristics of their browser and device. This method relies on collecting information about the user’s environment, such as browser version, operating system, screen resolution, installed fonts, and other technical parameters. Unlike cookies, which are files stored on the user’s device, browser fingerprints are generated from data that can be obtained directly when interacting with a website. This allows websites to identify and follow users over time, even if they delete their cookies. Browser fingerprinting is considered a powerful tool for user identification and tracking, as it helps companies personalize user experience, enhance security, and conduct behavior analysis. However, it also raises privacy concerns, as many users are unaware that their information is being collected in this way. In a world where data protection is increasingly relevant, browser fingerprinting becomes a topic of debate about the balance between personalization and user privacy.
