Browser fingerprint is information collected about a remote computing device for identification. Fingerprints can be used to fully or partially identify individual users or devices even when cookies are turned off.

– in other words, whenever you access the internet on your computer or smartphone, your device will send a slew of precise data about the sites you visit on the receiving server.

Websites utilize browser fingerprinting to gather information about your browser type and version, as well as your operating system, active plugins, time zone, language, screen resolution, and other current settings.

These measured values may appear generic at first glance and may not seem specialized to identify a specific person. However, the probability of another person having the same browser information is quite low.

As a result, you should always employ a fingerprint defender. Always be cautious, and always preserve your privacy. Stay Safe.
