FYI....

`Is your browser configuration rare or unique? If so.... web sites may be able to track you, even if you limit or disable cookies.`

*Panopticlick tests your browser to see how unique it is based on the "information (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/01/primer-information-theory-and-privacy)"... it will share with sites it visits. Click below and

you will be given a uniqueness score...letting "you see"... how easily identifiable you might be as you surf the web........

*Only "anonymous data (https://panopticlick.eff.org/privacy.php)" will be collected by this site.`

"A paper reporting the statistical results of this experiment is now available: How Unique Is Your Browser? (https://panopticlick.eff.org/browser-uniqueness.pdf), Proceedings of the Privacy

Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS 2010), Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science."

"Panopticlick: EFF's tool for telling you how unique your browser profile is"

"Electronic Frontier Foundation staff technologist Peter Eckersley has published some new research showing that individual browsers can be identified to a high degree of accuracy without cookies or other tracking technology. EFF has produced a tool called "Panopticlick" that tests how unique your browser is, and they're using the results from it to further their research"
