Information Amazon can see

[mynameis]

We all know Amazon has very precise monitoring tools. They can see a lot of information regarding each user before terminating accounts and such.

This can include browser information/ip address and cookies.

However has anyone figured out if Amazon uses flash cookies, and any other methods of flagging users, maybe O.S information/ mac address (I doubt it), and etc.

Do share your thoughts.

Assume they use flash cookies and web beacons embedded in emails they send to you. OS info is too generic to be used as a precise tracking method, despite theoretical exercises that track you using a profile of your system. Many people now say they do not track MAC, I think they do, however there are experienced members here who say they keep using the same laptop for multiple accounts; this one is up to you to decide on.

This is covered in Amazon Ghost pretty well.. yes Amazon utilizes Flash Objects, among many other things to track a person. It's quite interesting.
