Plausible uses the same algorithm and they have a page written by a lawyer claiming this is GDPR compliant: https://plausible.io/blog/legal-assessment-gdpr-eprivacy

> To summarize, I believe the EDPB has made their position very clear on this in their 2023 guidelines: Plausible's fingerprinting is subject to Article 5(3) of the ePD. Plausible has made their position very clear in their blog post, leaning in the other direction. Until this is tried out in court, I don't believe that there will be any definitive answer.

Unlike Plausible and Fathom, it looks like Rybbit is NOT salting by default ( (but that it's an option to enable per site: https://www.rybbit.io/docs/enhanced-privacy). Which is why they can offer retention reporting.

This seems incompatible with ePD.
