FP-STALKER: Tracking Browser Fingerprint Evolutions

Antoine Vastel, Pierre Laperdrix, Walter Rudametkin and Romain Rouvoy · hal.inria.fr

FP-STALKER links successive browser fingerprints from the same browser as they drift, using a rule-based matcher and a random-forest hybrid to decide whether two fingerprints share an origin. Over 98,598 fingerprints from 1,905 browsers it follows a browser for 54 days on average and a quarter of them past 100 days, so fingerprint churn does not defeat stateless tracking.
