Protect Yourself from Invasive Digital Fingerprinting
Online advertisers have in recent years pivoted from tracking cookies to a much more sophisticated—and largely invisible—method of data mining that acquires highly detailed information about your computer and the ways you use it to determine how best to sell to you. This significantly more invasive form of digital profiling is known as fingerprinting. Far from just the innocuous placement of targeted ads in your web browser, fingerprinting can be used to determine facts about you ranging from how many children you have in college, to which make and model of vehicles you and your family drive, to where and when you are likely to be away on vacation.
