A number of websites are imposing a new internet technology
which is hard to block tracking software and which is expected to cause an
increasing privacy concern for the customers and the users.
The new tracking technology is Canvas fingerprinting. This
completely commands on your browser window and allow drawing a unique
identifier pattern on the window. This helps to get you through your online
login behavior. It starts tracking at the same moment and has already tracked
about users on 5% of the biggest Internet popular sites.
They include mostly the web popular sites of star bucks and
white house etc. A team of academics has completed a research on this
technology and it has lately revealed that canvas fingerprinting has spread to
at least 5,542 sites out of web’s top 100,000 sites. The AddThis software has
helped it grow that much. This search also says that explorers and trackers are
being hired by the companies and employers In Canada.
Most of these include the TV station news and the immigration
centers. Researchers have found 20 more fingerprinting service providers other
than AddThis and then there were 11 more from the third parties. The users are
being tracked through their browser cookies and site data.
The scariest thing about this technology is that it takes
away the hold from the users. It is one’s right to have a hold on their
browsing. This method can be evaded by clearing browser cookies manually.
