"Researchers found code on the site's homepage that ran silent #audio processes in the browser. Tied to #Alibaba's security systems, the scripts tap a device's own audio hardware to generate a signal and measure the tiny, device-specific ways it comes back – producing something close to a fingerprint that doesn't need a single cookie to work. It's the kind of #tracking a user would likely never notice."
