From Wired: “At issue are methods KISSmetrics used — first reported by Wired.com — to track users who have deleted their cookies. The company juggled a variety of other technologies including Flash, Silverlight, HTML5 and so-called ETags in cached browser files to place and read unique identifiers.”
