5. Data Retention

Fingerprinting data is retained as long as necessary to support the intended purposes, typically for the lifetime of a device or session. In some cases, we may retain data longer to meet regulatory, contractual, or security obligations.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

TraceBit does not use cookies to identify users by default. However, if our clients choose to combine fingerprinting with cookie identifiers or other tracking technologies, they are responsible for providing appropriate disclosures and obtaining user consent as required by law.

We also use and detect the following technologies as part of our fingerprinting process:

  • Cookies and local storage
  • Session storage and IndexedDB
  • Service workers
  • WebRTC and WebGL features
  • Touch event support

These technologies help us gather technical details to create a probabilistically unique fingerprint for security and fraud prevention.

You can control or block cookies and similar technologies by adjusting your browser or device settings. Please note that disabling certain features may impact the functionality or accuracy of the Service.
