To be perfectly clear, NO. Tracking does not include those things unless they happen to be based on tracking data, and thus the above text has nothing to do with the definition of tracking itself. For example, the above is already being done with contextual data present in a single request. > Tracking is defined in a technological neutral way and includes e.g. cookie based tracking technology, active and passive fingerprinting techniques. Which is clear from either proposed definition (but not the proposal of no definition) and does not need to be repeated. ....Roy
