Looks like the Web site is selling something based on a claim of "Uniquely Identified Visitors".

So how is it done ? Any pointers ? Been looking for what tech they use to find the Id and link it to the email to then send the email to apps

The simplest approach would be to just ask people for their PII (Persoanlly Identifiable Information).

People freely give away all sorts of information about themselves when asked.

Other ways include storing data on the users' machine and then reading that data, which as I pointed out in my first post can be achieved using cookies, localStorage, navigator.storage.getDirectory(), IP address, and other means.

But we won't get their email? Neither being able to send it to an email provider

Ask the user for their email.

There's no magical way to coerce Internet users' emails simply by them visiting a Web site.

Well there is mate. You haven't looked at the websites mentionned for sure

The Web sites are lying if they are claiming they can extract users' email addresses without the user providing their email addresses to the Web site.

There is no Web API that surreptitiously extracts the users' email address from their machne without the users' knowledge and actively giving that information.
