https://github.com/w3ctag/spec-reviews/blob/master/2015/05/fingerprint.md w3c is en-us (behavior) https://w3c.github.io/fingerprinting-guidance/ > In short, browser fingerprinting is the capability of a site to identify or re-identify a visiting user, user agent or device via configuration settings or other observable characteristics. + "without asking the user" -- this addition would address Melvin's comment > This concern may be heightened because it may occur without the user's knowledge or consent and tools such as clearing cookies do not prevent or “re-set” correlation done via browser fingerprinting. `re-set correlation` doesn't work for me, I'd suggest "undo" and I'd change "done" to "achieved"
