I notice that ‘canvas fingerprinting’ seems to be in use when the theme is deployed. Can you advise why it’s present as it would generally be considered not cool from a privacy point of view?

Thanks

Hello tippmidwest,

Unfortunately, our theme does not use this functionality and therefore we cannot provide any response in this case, sorry!

Thanks for your understanding!

Usually you can use the console view and audit functions in Chrome to see sources of any such elements loading. Also note that can be used by ad systems, so best to test pages with any advertisements disabled; similarly any third party plugins like disqus, or social share plugins, jetpack, etc.

I have added Google Adsense script. Perhaps that’s it. However, I dont’ see a fingerprinting warning on other sites that I know are running Newspaper and Adsense.
