Knowledgeable people, tell me how the owner of the site can identify a user on the network?
From which platform can you collect more information about users (desktop or mobile)?
They are not interested in cookies, IP and session identifiers, but in extraneous signs, such as screen resolution, browser version, OS version.
And is it possible to somehow determine that a person is trying to imitate this or that OS by changing the browser header?

How can a website owner identify a user on the network?
-With the help of an electronic fingerprint (screen resolutions and other characteristics of the computer, a lot of them are collected, everything is mainly a Java script)
-from the desktop
Maybe. For some versions of the Mauser, the Java script conducts differently + checks the headers that are received from the client with the request header with the information that can be obtained using the Java script platform + browser version.
P.S. 1 question should contain 1 question and not 10!
