Hulu, MSN track users with “Supercookies”

New research presented by Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley claims that popular websites including Hulu and MSN are currently using new techniques to track users. These include the use of “supercookies” which are not only legal, but almost impossible to detect. They even reportedly re-create user profiles after the user deletes the original cookie from their computer. Thursday The Wall Street Journal revealed that supercookies can be used to steal a user's entire browser history.
