Comment on Evercookie: A cookie that undeletes itself from 8 different storages

Comments

In firefox set

  about:config ->  dom.storage.enabled -> false
Use flashblock and also block cookies by default.

The above causes evercookie to fail for me.

No need to block javascript.

Personally, I prefer to allow websites to use those things, but to then clear them between browser sessions. Just use the Firefox BetterPrivacy addon.

I don't know how you work but I keep the browser open 12 hours a day which is a very long session. During that time they can track you across their network of sites if you allow those types of storage by default in the first place.

This is true. I do however use AdBlock, Ghostery, Flashblock and NoScript as well, which should stop the vast majority of that sort of tracking.
