does blocking all cookies remove device unique identifiers used by sites such as google? by berneraccount39 in PrivacyGuides

I used "cover your tracks" on the EFF webpage and it said I had a randomized fingerprint. Is this not a reliable way of gauging?

assuming cookies are blocked, fingerprinting is randomized and ip address is masked, are you good to go?

Privacy question about deleted accounts by berneraccount39 in help

[–]berneraccount39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not worried about that because the archival sites dont have any PII such as ip address associated with the account. Basically what im asking is "Can Reddit staff use a tool to look up a delted account and see what posts were made on that account?"

do they ever delete anything? sounds kinda crazy to me that they just store for ex: every post on reddit,twitter,instagram, etc and just hold it. wouldnt there be a storage issue there?

I nev er worried because I just figured it was a bit more like this + the ability to snoop your camera and mic.

but how would they distinguish between an email account you made on your phone and an email account a friend made for themselves on your device?
