A news site I visit often has a limit on 10 views a month.
I don't log in and I delete my full browser history and use Chrome incognito mode.
The website still remembers my page view count.
I'm wondering how they do that. What else is available besides cookies?
Possibly through the use of super cookies (and here).
HSTS “allows a website to indicate that it should always be accessed using a secure connection that encrypts your communication with the site.” This “flag” is then saved by your web browser, ensuring that any future visits to the website are secure. But this can also be abused, using this feature to store a unique number that can be used to track your web browser.
The first link says Chrome is supposed to clear these when cookies are cleared, the second says only VPN will save you.
