They can track a lot more than IP addresses, your browser can provide a |
| 10 |
lot of information, not just user-agent but installed fonts, plugin |
| 11 |
information and much more. There is enough to do a damn good job of |
| 12 |
identifying you even when your IP address changes. It is certainly simple |
| 13 |
to see if you are one user or two. |
