lingerprint
Advanced tools
A drop-in API for creating a pseudo-unique browser fingerprint for lightweight visitor analytics.
lingerprint is a Javascript library that will examine a browser and build a visitor fingerprint. This will not include any personally identifiable information, while this can be used to uniquely identify a browser--it cannot identify individual users that may be using multiple browsers.
