That's fingerprinting, traditionally. Hence, the "Cookieless tracking" header right there on the page. If you are tying in other data, that's data aggregation for your business case and is fundamentally unrelated.

I mean, generating personas and whatever "false positives" mean, has nothing to do with fingerprinting. If you cant differentiate from an anon user to another, that's data too.
