超越Cookie Monster Pastelia：真实世界持续在线跟踪
Beyond Cookie Monster Amnesia: Real World Persistent Online Tracking
摘要：
浏览器指纹识别是一种相对较新的唯一识别浏览器的方法，可用于跟踪Web用户。在某些方面，它比通过cookie跟踪更威胁隐私，因为用户无法直接控制它。许多作者已经考虑了各种各样的技术，可以用来指纹浏览器;然而，相对较少的信息是如何广泛的浏览器指纹，以及在现实世界中收集哪些信息来创建这些指纹。为了帮助解决这个问题，我们抓取了10，000个最受欢迎的网站;这可以深入了解使用该技术的网站数量，哪些网站正在收集指纹信息，以及正在检索的信息。我们发现，大约69%的网站可能涉及第一方或第三方浏览器指纹识别。我们进一步发现，第三方浏览器指纹识别，这是潜在的更多的隐私损害，似乎是在实践中占主导地位。我们还描述了\textit{FingerprintAlert}，一个免费的浏览器扩展，我们开发的检测，并选择性地阻止访问网站的指纹尝试。
英文摘要：
Browser fingerprinting is a relatively new method of uniquely identifying browsers that can be used to track web users. In some ways it is more privacy-threatening than tracking via cookies, as users have no direct control over it. A number of authors have considered the wide variety of techniques that can be used to fingerprint browsers; however, relatively little information is available on how widespread browser fingerprinting is, and what information is collected to create these fingerprints in the real world. To help address this gap, we crawled the 10,000 most popular websites; this gave insights into the number of websites that are using the technique, which websites are collecting fingerprinting information, and exactly what information is being retrieved. We found that approximately 69\% of websites are, potentially, involved in first-party or third-party browser fingerprinting. We further found that third-party browser fingerprinting, which is potentially more privacy-damaging, appears to be predominant in practice. We also describe \textit{FingerprintAlert}, a freely available browser extension we developed that detects and, optionally, blocks fingerprinting attempts by visited websites.
