Hope this is the correct section for my post.  Lately this topic of fingerprinting came up, and I find it difficult to understand that no matter how much I try to protect myself from being tracked, it is almost impossible.

No matter if I use Brave Browser, Ad-Guard, clean my computer of traces using PrivaZer monthly, I find that if a play an online card game Solitaires, every time I start a new game, I see my wins so far.  So, I just accept the fact that there is no way to prevent tracking, (the computer as I play nameless) no matter what the program manufactures say, Mindblower!

Hi MB!

That site is dropping a cookie on your computer. That cookie contains information about your visits and, in this case, your game play statistics.

This type of cookie is not considered to be a "tracker". Your wins do not follow you around the internet. Cookies have gotten a bad reputation for various reasons, but most cookies can be your friend, like this one.

Delete all your cookies, and you will soon find out how helpful they can be.
