Welcome back...

This is a short list of user tracking techniques (based on browser cache poisoning) - which, for example, can be used to revive EverCookie.

Needless to say, this problem isn't new ... and yet, it's still easy to find ways to effectively compromise users' privacy.

• The first one, for majority of browsers, survives full browser cache removal !
• The second and third ones can still be tricky to kill, because of existing bugs in UI related to cache management and used cross-site tracking.
  

The potential of finding other approaches is also quite significant. Give it a shot...*

1. XHR Preflight Cache Poisoning
2. HTTP 301 Permanent Redirect Cache Poisoning
3. Plain SVG Cache Tracking Example
