An Introduction to Trackers and the Data They Collect | Avoid the Hack (avoidthehack!)
There are many tracking technologies in use; this post covers the basics of what trackers are and what data they can (and tend to) collect.
Trackers (and by extension, Fingerprinting) cover a wide range of tracking mechanisms used to collecting data about users, their browsing habits, device usage habits, among other data points.
Tracking has been around since the start of the public internet. It continues to evolve, with some methods being more privacy invasive than others.
This post just scratches the surface on the topic, introducing users to common tracking methods used today. It touches a little on server-side tracking as well.
Stay safe out there,
