HTML Web Storage

HTML Web Storage, also known as the Web Storage API, allows websites to store data directly in your browser. It can hold up to 5MB of information, such as text or lists. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent to the server when you open a webpage. There are two types of web storage: 

• Session storage. This is accessible only within a single browser tab or window; data disappears once you close the tab or browser. 
• Local storage. This is accessible across all tabs and windows from the same website; the data remains in your browser even after you close it and doesn’t expire unless you or the website removes it.

Tracking Tags and Tracking Pixels (or Web Beacons) 

Tracking tags and pixels, or web beacons, are small images embedded in websites, emails, or advertisements. They are typically invisible to users but can send information to the server when loaded. These tools can measure website traffic, track user behavior, and verify the delivery or opening of emails. Advertisers or marketers often use them to enhance their campaigns or personalize content. 
 

Device Fingerprinting

Device fingerprinting is a technique for collecting information about your device’s unique configuration and tracking your online behavior. This process creates a unique "fingerprint" using various data sources, such as your browser, IP address, and device settings. This feature is used to prevent fraud, track user visits across multiple browsers and devices, and personalize users’ experiences. 
 

UTM labels (UTM codes or UTM tags)

UTM labels, also known as UTM codes or tags, are text added to a website URL to track where your website traffic comes from. They help monitor the performance of online campaigns using web analytics tools. UTM cookies do not contain personal data but include information about the source, medium, campaign name, and content. This helps marketers understand the origin of website traffic. However, the data collected can be linked to personal data to track individual user behavior.
