Private #Browserfenster verhindern keine Identifikation im Netz.

Die #IP-Adresse und das Browser-#Fingerprinting ermöglichen weiterhin das Benutzer-#Tracking.

Wer wirkliche #Anonymität sucht, sollte auf Tools wie den #TorBrowser setzen. Doch auch der schützt nicht vor allen Gefahren.

Fingerprinting: Critics say Google rules put profits over privacy

Changes which come in on Sunday permit so-called "fingerprinting", which allows online advertisers to collect more data about users including their IP addresses and information about their devices.

Google vous traque désormais partout… et il est presque impossible d’y échapper !

vrgl.fr/Gv2T7D-3

Que cela vous plaise ou non, échapper au « #fingerprinting » deviendra de plus en plus difficile. #Google s’apprête à déployer un nouveau moyen de pister les internautes bien plus efficace et sournois que les #cookies. Et vous ne pourrez rien faire contre ce suivi inévitable ! À moins d'utiliser l’unique rempart contre cette intrusion dans votre vie privée...#firefox

@homlett This is for the UK. In the EU fingerprinting is only allowed after consent: legalweb.io/en/news-en/browser

'Companies (others try it too) must ensure that the data collected through browser fingerprinting is necessary for the specific purpose and that the user has expressly consented to the data collection. This means companies need to be transparent about what types of data are being collected, for what purposes they are being used, and who has access to them.'

“[O]pponents to the change say fingerprinting and IP address collection are a blow to privacy”

“"The same tracking techniques that Google claims are essential for online #advertising also expose individuals' sensitive information to data #brokers, #surveillance companies, and law enforcement," [Lena Cohen, staff technologist at the EFF] added.”

"Privacy campaigners have called Google's new rules on tracking people online "a blatant disregard for user privacy."

Changes which come in on Sunday permit so-called "fingerprinting", which allows online advertisers to collect more data about users including their IP addresses and information about their devices.

Google says this data is already widely used by other companies, and it continues to encourage responsible data use.

However the company had previously come out strongly against this kind of data collection, saying in a 2019 blog that fingerprinting "subverts user choice and is wrong."

But in a post announcing the new rule changes, Google said the way people used the internet - such as devices like smart TVs and consoles - meant it was harder to target ads to users using conventional data collection, which users control with cookie consent."

Wir alle hinterlassen online Fingerabdrücke doch Google ist extrem was es sammelt – lest den Artikel:

»Digitaler Fingerabdruck – Google hat eine neue Ära des Trackings eingeleitet, die schlimmer ist als Cookie-Banner:
Da Google Ihnen die Möglichkeit gibt, das Cookie-Tracking abzulehnen, beginnt es stillschweigend, Ihre Online-Gewohnheiten mit Fingerabdrücken zu erfassen.«

Ich habe gerade noch einmal zur Sicherheit nachgeschaut, aber nein - ich habe kein wirklich aktives Google-Konto mehr.

Mein damaliges Hauptkonto ist zwar noch mehr oder weniger “aktiv”, das heißt, dass ich es zwar noch nicht gelöscht habe und eventuell noch eingehende E-Mails weiterleitet, aber ansonsten unbenutzt und ohne irgendwelche Daten.

Google kann also noch mit eventuellen Spam-E-Mails seien KI trainieren, aber das war es dann wohl auch 😆

Googles Fingerprinting kann morgen also kommen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am far less concerned, as a practical matter, over whether or not my ISP is #spying on my data or whether or not I need to use a #VPN, than whether or not #computer OS and hardware manufacturers and browser software are providing unique device identifiers to websites and applications that can be used to track me even if I completely wipe the device, change location and IP address, delete my accounts, and start over. #security #privacy #tracking #fingerprinting
