Cookies may be on their way out, but tracking users is not. As with most thing, if one method gets restricted companies always seem to find another way. The ETag, or entity tag, is a component of HTTP, the World Wide Web's protocol. It's one of several ways for Web cache validation provided by HTTP, allowing a client to make conditional requests. Because a Web server does not need to send a full response if the content has not changed, this approach allows caches to be more efficient and conserve bandwidth. ETags can also be used for optimistic concurrency control, which prevents concurrent resource updates from overwriting one other. • Cookies directly affect your privacy. Not all cookies are equal, and they all serve different purposes. Cookies perform important and sometimes necessary services on the internet. They allow web servers to keep stateful information on the user's device (such as products added to an online retailer's shopping cart) or track the user's browsing activities (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to save information submitted into form fields by the user, such as names, addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers, for later use. • Web servers frequently employ authentication cookies to verify that a user is logged in and with whose account they are logged in. Users would have to verify themselves without the cookie by signing in on each page containing sensitive information they wanted to access. An authentication cookie's security is generally determined by the security of the issuing website and the user's web browser, as well as whether the cookie data is encrypted. A cookie's data could be read by an attacker, used to obtain access to user data, or used to get access to the website to which the cookie belongs (using the user's credentials) (see cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery for examples). • Tracking cookies, particularly third-party tracking cookies, are widely used to accumulate long-term records of people's surfing habits, posing a possible privacy risk that drove European and American authorities to act in 2011. Before keeping non-essential cookies on a user's device, European law mandates that all websites targeting European Union member states obtain informed consent from them. • //SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: • ☕ There's no obligation, but if you want to support the channel and what I create, click the link below to buy me a coffee, so I can stay awake while researching topics for future videos. • https://support.sideofburritos.com • //LINKS REFERENCED IN VIDEO: • https://sideofburritos.com/blog/brows... • //NEWSLETTER SIGNUP: • https://sideofburritos.com • //CONTACT: • For all subscribers, please use this email: hi(at)sideofburritos.com • PGP Key: https://sideofburritos.com/contact/ • //VPS PROVIDER: • Digital Ocean - https://m.do.co/c/5d8c108285a6 • //CHAPTERS: • Intro - 00:00 • Browser Cache - 00:24 • ETags - 01:03 • Abusing ETags - 01:43 • What you can do - 03:17 • //DISCLAIMER: • Links included in this description might be affiliate links.
