Google has introduced a new method of tracking Internet users called “fingerprinting”. This technique makes it possible to uniquely identify an Internet user based on the technical specifications of their device and browser, as an alternative to traditional cookies.
Fingerprinting is a technique that consists of collecting various types of information transmitted directly by your browser when you visit a website. This data includes, among other things, the version of your operating system, your screen resolution, your time zone, the type of web browser you use and your IP address. The combination of all these elements creates your digital "fingerprint” without the need to store any data on your device.
