Sure but that can be completely randomized, no? like keep changing folder where cookie gets hidden, or the ID generated.


Problem is that you do not want random. You want it to be generated. It should be same say after you reinstall OS and the drivers and the game.

Not that fingerprints should lead straight to bans, but maybe at least heightened awareness.
