Wait, is it just me, or is it not wild that there's a company openly advertising their fingerprinting services? Their landing page implies it's primarily for fraud detection / abuse prevention. But one of their customer testimonials is from Neiman Marcus boasting they increased the number of repeat customers they could identify.
> "With the adoption of Fingerprint, we can now recognize and personalize approximately 23% of total visits to NeimanMarcus.com, up from the previous baseline of 8-10%."
Of course, these companies have always been around. But this post reads like it threads the line between "our product defeats Apple's futile defenses" and "we care so much about user privacy we're white-hat cracking Apple's defenses".
And another "between-the-lines" joke is that this site doesn't throw up a cookie dialog when you load it. What a joke! "We don't need cookies to track you, haha!"
