How unique and trackable is your web browser?

When you visit a website, you are allowing that site to access a lot of information about your computer. Combined, this information can create a kind of fingerprint — a signature that could be used to identify you and your computer. But how effective would this kind of online tracking be? EFF is running an experiment to find out. Visit http://panopticlick.eff.org to learn how unique your browser is and if you can be tracked.
