when PayPal tells you that they already know you and don't require you to log in: that's fingerprint.com behind the scenes.

There are pros/cons.

It should be obvious by now that using any free service of scale is being paid for by your interactions which are made more valuable through fingerprinting.

Trying to circumvent that just makes it more expensive for the rest of us.

Why use a third party service when cookies can do exactly that? They load their .js from the same domain they set up a cookie and there's no limitation to read that cookie, correct?

Paypal does what? I'm sometimes nervous I only need 2 factors of authentication. 0FA seems dangerous for financial anything.
