Comment Fingerprinting (Score 3, Interesting) 55
Its called fingerprinting, and it has been going on a very long time, using techniques that go back decades. This just makes it more persistent and spans attempts to obfuscate fingerprinting in easier ways.
If you want to avoid this, work from a non-persistent VM that is created and destroyed every online session, using no identifiable information (no-logins ever).
Security isn't convenient.

Spin up a LIVE based VM, with one of the more secure browsers. Then when you're done, all the cookies are poof
This bypasses almost all forms of tracking/fingerprinting browsing systems.
Also, why can't hackers figure out how to poison cookies?
