Browser fingerprinting is a data collection method that hashes browser settings and builds a digital signature, also known as a digital fingerprint. Web browser fingerprint includes user agent, screen size and resolution, installed fonts, plugins, extensions, and more.

All of the mentioned details aid in identifying a particular device. It’s common for websites to add a JavaScript code in their HTML pages to gather the browser parameters for fingerprinting.
