When i said tracking, it's not just logging. They know nothing except for all browser information.


I said logging because that's what I usually do with this information, but if your goal is track then you can do it with the same information. Fingerprinting can happen actively (with JS) or passively (without JS). The former is obviously more precise, the latter isn't bad at all. In passive fingerprinting you can combine the IP, which is a connection IP - nothing to do with HTTP, and the User-Agent header. You are now tracked.
