The company is also clamping down on a technique called “fingerprinting” which allows advertisers to identify and track individual web users based on the unique way their computer is set up, including the device, operating system and fonts they are using.

　　苹果还将打击一种名为“指纹识别”的技术，这种技术允许广告商基于每台电脑的独特设置，包括装置、操作系统和字体，来识别和跟踪个人网络用户。

　　“Put simply, there are two big classes of tracking: cookies and fingerprinting,” said Dr Lukasz Olejnik, independent security and privacy researcher and consultant. “It appears that Apple has set a goal to go after all techniques that may be used in third-party tracking. It’s an arms race and I believe Apple may be winning.”

　　独立安全隐私研究员和顾问卢卡什·奥勒杰尼克博士说：“简单来说，跟踪技术主要有两种：cookie文件和指纹识别。看起来苹果公司已经确立了目标，要干掉所有可能被用于第三方跟踪的技术。这是一场‘军备’竞赛，我认为苹果可能会赢。”
