Fingerprinting is a type of online tracking that’s more invasive than ordinary cookie-based tracking. A digital fingerprint is created when a company makes a unique profile of you based on your computer hardware, software, add-ons, and even preferences. Your settings like the screen you use, the fonts installed on your computer, and even your choice of a web browser can all be used to create a fingerprint.
数字指纹跟踪是一种比 Cookie 更具侵入性的跟踪方式。当一家企业根据您的计算机软硬件、附加组件、系统设置，为您创建单独的个人资料时，就是在进行“数字指纹跟踪”。您的设置诸如所用屏幕尺寸、计算机上安装的字体、甚至是您选用的浏览器，都可以用来创建指纹。
