The Panopticlick Experiment (sounds like a steam punk device), in which the Electronic Freedom Foundation demonstrated a means to determine individual browsers statistically, based on browser configurations (browser fingerprints) certainly highlights that there is more than one way to track individual users across the Internet.

What I found particularly interesting was that the more tools loaded into the browser, such as tools to increase privacy, the more unique the browser fingerprint.

I’m wondering if the issue will be rendered moot by the EFF Panopticlick Experiment where they pretty effectively show that effective individualized tracking is possible without the use of cookies.
