    We can't track a user across different domains, or customers.
To be super clear- yes you can. You don't. That's very different. With full JS access on a site you have the ability to collect a lot of information. As another poster mentioned, it only takes 30 bits of entropy to identify all 3 billion internet users.


You're right. My bad. We don't. Not we can't.

Technically, though we can't, since we'd have to dedicate engineering time to making the changes necessary to do that kind of tracking, and we're not going to :P
