Depends on how stable the signals being used are. Some can be very durable.

Fingerprints usually identify a device or specific user-agent. I'm not sure about the context for this but you can augment it with cookies to specify "user accounts".
> "How do you tie a fingerprint to your database of existing customers?"
How do you tie any random alphanumeric ID - whether stored as a cookie on device or recognized as a fingerprint - to a customer? Mappings still exist and work the same way.
> "How do you keep cookie data from conflicting with fingerprint data?"
What would be the conflict? Ideally only one is used as the primary identifier and takes precedence.

We have even deprecated IP Addresses in our database as we found they no longer have any sort of day to day accuracy (too many devices jumping networks constantly) or there are too many shared IPs for work networks. It seems like most fingerprints are just IP address + random identifiers.
