> In short, browser fingerprinting is the capability of a site to identify or re-identify a visiting user, user agent or device via configuration settings or other observable characteristics.

> This concern may be heightened because it may occur without the user's knowledge or consent and tools such as clearing cookies do not prevent or “re-set” correlation done via browser fingerprinting.
