People think deleting cookies makes them invisible.
Modern tracking doesnât care about your cookies, it cares about you.
Hereâs how companies (and sometimes investigators) still identify you:
1ď¸âŁ Device Fingerprinting
Your device leaks a unique âsignatureâ:
⢠Screen size
⢠Timezone
⢠Installed fonts
⢠Graphics card
⢠Browser version
Put together? Itâs more unique than your fingerprint.
2ď¸âŁ Canvas Tracking
Websites force your browser to draw an invisible image.
How your device renders it reveals exactly who you are.
You canât delete this.
You canât block this.
Most people donât even know it exists.
3ď¸âŁ Passive Signals
Your browser gives away:
⢠Battery percentage
⢠Audio hardware
⢠Touchscreen capability
⢠System acceleration
⢠Keyboard language
These tiny details build a profile thatâs almost impossible to fake consistently.
4ď¸âŁ IP Triangulation
Not just your IP.
Your IP history, movement patterns, login timing, and behavioural rhythm.
Humans are predictable.
Machines notice.
