Reports have revealed that the e-commerce platform "AliExpress" relies on a unique invisible audio fingerprinting technology that allows it to track users discreetly. This is achieved using silent sounds emitted by the site, which vary in response for each device, along with information about the operating system, processor, audio hardware, and browser. This mechanism was discovered by an independent developer by chance while browsing the site, when the music suddenly stopped strangely upon the user's login. His investigations showed that the site uses this audio fingerprint to collect data and track users in ways that go beyond traditional tracking techniques, constituting a violation of user privacy. The platform has yet to respond to requests for comment, and current solutions involve using privacy-focused browsers, such as "Brave" and "Firefox," to block this technology.
