    Depends, depends. In your case it’s probably about cookies, or IP. Maybe it’s inferred identity, hence why it takes a few days.

    Are cookies or IP enough for 90% of people? Yeah. But I’m sure that data is worth less, because they already have tons of data on those folks.

    What about the 10% that might be using a VPN? The <1% using tor?

    That data could be more valuable because it’s harder to get.
