What is the name of an alternative technique to counter the reduction in use of third-party cookies, where web publishers may consider utilizing data cached by a browser and returned with a subsequent request from the same resource to track unique users?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Browser fingerprinting is a technique used to track users by collecting information about their browser and device characteristics, which are then used to create a unique identifier. This technique can be employed as an alternative to third-party cookies and can track users across different sessions and sites.

Reference: IAPP CIPT Study Guide, 'Tracking Technologies,' which covers various methods of user tracking including cookies, web beacons, and browser fingerprinting.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with C) Entity tagging, it just sounds more like the kind of fancy alternative technique they'd be asking about.

A) Web beacon tracking? Seriously? That's so old-school, I doubt that's what they're looking for here.
