Porn-o-nomics: Who is watching you watch porn?
- Frogolocalypse 10y agoI simply have no idea how you would find out the pervasiveness of the technique, but i remember learning how to acquire an amazing amount of detail about a user who visits your site. Version of client, resolution of screen, plugins, configuration settings, input methods, and last but not least, IP, etc etc. When you realise how many things there are, and how many different variations there are, you can pretty effectively verify a user is a particular identity, even if you don't know their name. It's not even that hard to record it. Analyzing the data is not really that complex a problem either.
