Ralph Broenink | Using browser properties for fingerprinting purposes (PDF)

From the Abstract:

“It is widely known that cookies can be used to track users. However, even privacy-aware users are trackable by the properties the browser sends with every request. Based on information like the browser vendor, plugin versions and the installed fonts, a fingerprint may be created that uniquely identies a browser.”
