Your Social Media Fingerprint

Post by FlyingPenguin »

This site shows what social media sites you're logged into. Unless you specifically log out of social media sites, your continuing session allows other websites to track you.

The author of this site uses a side-channel leakage trick to tell what social media sites you are logged into.

If you use a lot of social media sites, and you don't make a habit out of logging out when you're done, you may be shocked at how many sites you're logged into. And if you're logged in then you can be certain they are tracking you for marketing purposes.

Only youtube for me. And I don't even have and account so I don't know how that counts.
